SiC nanowires in large quantities: Synthesis, band gap characterization, and photoluminescence properties

“…This reaction can be expressed as [8,26,60] SiO ðvÞ þ 3CO ðvÞ ! SiC ðsÞ þ 2CO 2ðgÞ (4) The reaction shown in Eq. (4) is a vapor-vapor reaction.…”

“…1-D SiC nanostructures such as nanorods [1][2][3][4][5], nanobelts [6], nanowires [7][8][9][10], nanotubes [11], and nanocables [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] have potential as composite materials [19], field emission displays (FEDs) [20][21][22], photocatalysts [23], and electric nanodevices [24] for the use in high temperature and high power applications.…”

Synthesis of High-Purity Silicon Carbide Nanowires by a Catalyst-Free Arc-Discharge Method

“…Since Dai et al first synthesized SiC nanowires through a reaction between carbon nanotube templates and SiO or SiI 2 , one-dimensional SiC nanostructures such as nanorods, − nanobelts, nanowires, − nanotubes, and nanocables − have drawn a significant amount of attention because of their high thermal stability, chemical resistivity, and excellent mechanical and unique optical properties in applications such as cold cathode field-emission displays (FEDs), nanodevices, and sensors. , …”

Fabrication of β-Silicon Carbide Nanowires from Carbon Powder and Silicon Wafer

“…As a wide band gap semiconducting material, silicon carbide (SiC) exhibits many excellent properties for high temperature, high frequency and high power applications [3]. SiC 1D nanostructures can be used in field emission display, nano-sensors and electro-devices [4][5][6]. Thus, in the last few years, much effort has been made to the synthesis of 1D SiC nanostructures.…”
