Abstract. In this work, we introduce a simple and convenient approach for growing SiC
nanowires (SiCNWs) directly on carbon source from graphite. The commercial SiO
powder and the cheap common graphite were used as the source materials. SiCNWs have
been synthesized during holding time less than 60-80 min at 1450-1500 °C by using a
simple and low-cost method in an industrial furnace with a resistant heater.
Keywords: silicon carbide, nanowires, vapor-solid mechanism, large-scale production.
