Controllable Combustion Synthesis of SiC Nanowhiskers in a Si-C-N System: The Role of the Catalyst

Silicon carbide (SiC) nanowhiskers (NWs) constitute an important type of optical and structural materials. Herein, SiC NWs were successfully combustion synthesized (CSed) in a Si-C-N system using tungsten (W) as a catalyst. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray di...
