Carbon nanofiber/silica aerogel composites are prepared by sol-gel processing of surface-enhanced herringbone graphitic carbon nanofibers (GCNF) and Si(OMe)4, followed by supercritical CO2 drying. Heating the resulting GCNF/silica aerogel composites to 1650 degrees C under a partial pressure of Ar gas initiates carbothermal reaction between the silica aerogel matrix and the carbon nanofiber component to form SiC/silica nanocomposites. The SiC phase is present as nearly spherical nanoparticles, having an average diameter of ca. 8 nm. Formation of SiC is confirmed by powder XRD and by Raman spectroscopy.
通过对表面增强的人字形石墨碳纳米纤维(GCNF)和Si(OMe)₄进行溶胶 - 凝胶处理,随后进行超临界CO₂干燥,制备出碳纳米纤维/二氧化硅气凝胶复合材料。在氩气分压下将所得的GCNF/二氧化硅气凝胶复合材料加热到1650℃,引发二氧化硅气凝胶基质与碳纳米纤维组分之间的碳热反应,形成SiC/二氧化硅纳米复合材料。SiC相以近乎球形的纳米颗粒形式存在,平均直径约为8nm。通过粉末XRD和拉曼光谱证实了SiC的形成。
