Abstract

Herein, the SiC ceramic aerogels with in-situ growth of SiC nanowires (SiCw/SiC CAs) have been synthesized by polymer‐derived ceramics (PDCs) method. The morphology, microstructure, and phase composition of the as-prepared samples were systematically investigated through SEM, XRD, TEM, Raman spectrum, FT-IR spectrum, and XPS spectrum techniques. The results showed that the as-obtained SiCw has a diameter of about 80 nm and a length of 1–3.5 μm. In addition, the formation mechanism and evolution process of growth SiCw were systematically studied using a VLS growth mechanisms. The way in this work could be expanded to synthesize other Si-based porous ceramic aerogel nanostructed with nanowires.
