Investigating the graphitization mechanism of SiO(2) nanoparticles in chemical vapor deposition.
The use of SiO(2) as a catalyst for graphitic nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, is a new and rapidly developing catalyst system. A key question is whether carbide phases form in the reaction. We show the formation of SiC from SiO(2) nanoparticles for the synthesis of graphitic c...
