“…Motivated by these applications of 1D SiC nanomaterials, a variety of techniques have been reported for the synthesis of SiC nanowires, including chemical vapor deposition [13,14], thermal evaporation [15,16], carbothermal reduction [17,18], laser ablation [19], arc-discharge [20], carbon nanotubes confined reaction [21,22], and catalyst-assisted [23,24]. In most of these methods, expensive raw materials, catalysts, and sophisticated techniques were used.…”
