Synthesis and characterization of biomorphic 1D-SiC nanoceramics from novel macroalga precursor material

This study reports the first experimental research of Ecklonia radiata macroalga as novel precursor material for the synthesis of one-dimensional Silicon carbide (1D-SiC) Nanoceramics. High-temperature carbothermic reduction of Biosilica (Bio-SiO2) at 1550 °C under controlled Argon purge is proposed as means of facile scalable bulk manufacturing method. The synthesis, characterization, and potential applications of the reaction products are...
