A novel method for synthesis of α-Si3N4 nanowires by sol–gel route

Silicon nitride (Si3 N4) nanowires have been prepared by carbothermal reduction followed by the nitridation (CTRN) of silica gel containing ultrafine excess carbon obtained by the decomposition of dextrose over the temperature range of 1200–1350 °C. This innovative process involves repeated evacuati...
