SiC/SiO 2 nanocables were synthesized by pyrolysis of poly(dimethyl siloxane) using ferrocene as a catalyst precursor at ∼1050 °C in Ar. The as-grown product was characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy. The length of the nanocables is in the millimeter range and the diameter of most nanocables is in the range of about 5–10 nm. The vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism was proposed to elucidate the growth process of the nanocables.
