SYNTHESIS OF SILICON NITRIDE NANORODS USING CARBON NANOTUBE AS A TEMPLATE

A method to prepare silicon nitride nanoscale rods using carbon nanotube as a template has been presented in this letter. The products of the reaction of carbon nanotubes with a mixture of Si and SiO2 powder in nitrogen atmosphere are β-Si3N4, α-Si3N4, and Si2N2O nanorods. The sizes of the nanorods are 4–40 nm in diameter and up to several microns in length. The formation mechanism of the nanorods has also been discussed.
