摘要
Largescale vaporsolid synthesis of ultralong silicon nitride （Si3N4） nanowires was achieved by using simple thermal evaporation of mixture powders of active carbon and monoxide silicon. The products were charac terized by Xray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energydispersive Xray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results suggest that the silicon nitride nanowires have a smooth surface, with lengths of up to several hundreds of microns and diameters of 100300 nm. A detailed study of both the chemical and structural composition was performed. Such ultralong sil icon nitride nanowires demonstrate potential applications as materials for constructing nanoscale devices and as reinforcement in advanced composites.
