We report on experiments to optimize the process of preparation of silicon carbide nanowires (SiCNWs) by a combustion synthesis (thermolysis). The morphology of starting reactants and combustion atmosphere were varied and we observed the effect of those variables on product yield and characteristics. The produced SiCNWs were characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, and wet chemistry analysis.High‐pressure reactor used for combustion synthesis, combustion reaction, and TEM of produced SiCNW
