Abstract

Al 4 B 2 O 9 whiskers on the surface of porous SiC substrates were fabricated by chemical reactions between Al(NO 3 ) 3 and H 3 BO 3 , which is a facile method to prepare cilia-like microstructure for gas–solid separation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were employed to investigate the structural morphology and phase compositions. Al 4 B 2 O 9 whiskers with nanometer-sized diameters and micrometer-sized lengths grew on the surface of SiC substrates, and a self-catalytic mechanism was used to explain Al 4 B 2 O 9 whisker growth.
