Systematic study on the nanowire growth has indicated that morphology and composition of the final products are sensitive to the catalyst components, reaction atmosphere and temperature. Compared to Au and V02 as catalysts individually, co-catalysts of Au and V02 play a critical role in the formation of networked Si02 nanowires. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） observations indicate that the silicon oxide nanowires have smooth surfaces with uniform diameters of 30-100 rim, and their lengths reach several hundred micrometers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） results reveal the atomic ratio of silicon to oxygen is about 1：2. Growth dependence of the networked nanowires on hydrogen and temperature is also discussed. Vapor-liquid-solid （VLS） process is proposed for the growth mechanism of the networked nanowires. It is also found that the growth mechanism of SiO2 nanowires by increasing the temperature up to 1200 ℃ changes to vapor-solid （VS） processes since wire-like structures can be formed without any catalyst or H2 gas introduced into the system.展开更多
