The growth mechanism of the SiC nanowhiskers followed two reaction pathways of vapor-solid (VS) and the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS). Increased CO and CO₂ concentrations due to the evolution of gaseous products (SiO and CO) from the reactive cellulose char led to the growth of SiC nanowhiskers under the solid-vapor mechanism. The presence of inherent metallic species, such as Fe in biochar was found to catalyze the formation and growth of SiC nanowhiskers.]]> Tue 09 Aug 2022 14:17:38 AEST ]]> A comparative study on the intrinsic reactivity and structural evolution during gasification of chars from biomass and different rank coals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40287 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:55:22 AEDT ]]>
