Preparation of Biomorphic SiC/C Ceramics from Pine Wood via Supercritical Ethanol Infiltration
View through CrossRef
Abstract: Biomorphic (wood derived) carbide ceramics with an overall composition in the SiC/C was produced by supercritical ethanol infiltration of low viscosity tetraethylorthosilicate/supercritical ethanol into biologically derived carbon templates (CB‐templates) and in situ hydrolysis into Si(OH)4‐gel, the Si(OH)4‐gel was calcined at 1400° C to promote the polycondensation of Si(OH)4‐gel into SiO2‐phase and then carbonthermal reduction of the SiO2 with the biocarbon template into highly porous, biomorphic SiC/C ceramics. The phases and morphology conversion mechanism of resulting porous SiC/C ceramics have been investigated by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR). Experimental results showed that the biomorphic cellular morphology of pinewood charcoal was remained in the porous SiC/C ceramic with high precision that consisted of β‐SiC with minority of α‐SiC and the remain free carbon existed in amorphous phase.
