摘要
MgO nanowires and related nanostructures have been prepared by carbon-assisted synthesis, starting from polycrystalline MgO or Mg without the use of metal catalysts. The study has been carried out with different sources of carbon, all of them yielding the nanostructures with some differences. It has been possible to obtain nanotrees and other interesting nanostructures by this method. It has also been possible to obtain aligned MgO nanowires by carbon-assisted synthesis over Au-coated Si substrates. A vapor-solid mechanism of one-dimensional growth seems to be operative in the reactions carried out in bulk, but a vapor-liquid-solid mechanism applies when Si substrates are used.
