Abstract:The mechanically-alloyed amorphous 2SiB3CN powder was used as the precursor for the preparation of SiC nanowires in the current work. Annealed at 1700 °C in argon for 2 hrs, the composite powder was covered by a large amount of grey-green SiC nanowires. SEM, TEM and XRD results reveal that the nanowires are 200 to 1000 nanometers in diameter and hundreds of micrometers in length. Bamboo-shaped and nodular-like β-SiC nanowire accounts for the major part of the products. The bamboo-shaped nanowires have perfect … Show more
