ABSTRACT:
A process utilizing a supported metal catalyst, a volatile species source, and a carbon source has been developed to produce carbide nanorods with diameters of less than about 100 nm and aspect ratios of 10 to 1000. The volatile species source, carbon source, and supported metal catalyst can be used to produce carbide nanorods in single run, batch, and continuous reactors under relatively mild conditions. The method employs a simple catalytic process involving readily available starting materials.
