Abstract

In this article, SiC (silicon carbide) nanopowder was synthesized by sol-gel method. TEOS and Sucrose was used as pricier source. Final gel was obtained by mixing and drying of pricier source. This mixture was heated at 650°C and 1500°C. Primary sol was produced in pH of 4 and the effect of pH on Particle Size and morphology of powder were studied with SEM, XRD and PS. Due to obtained data, the smallest grain size and the minimum of agglomeration in nano powder particles were obtained at the pH of 4.
