Method of fabricating silicon carbide powder
A method of fabricating silicon carbide powder according to the embodiment comprises the steps of preparing a mixture by mixing a silicon source comprising silicon, a silicon carbide source and a carbone source comprising at least one of a solid carbon and a organic compound; and reacting the mixture.
1. A method of fabricating silicon carbide powder, the method comprising:
preparing a mixture by mixing a silicon source comprising silicon, a silicon carbide source and a carbon source comprising at least one of a solid carbon and an organic compound; and
reacting the mixture,
wherein a weight ratio of the silicon carbide source to a sum of the silicon source and the carbon source is in a range of about 1:1 to about 1:3.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon carbide source has an average grain size of about 1 μm to about 10 μm.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon carbide source comprises a β crystal phase.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon source comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of silica sol, silicon dioxide, fine silica and quartz powder.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solid carbon comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon black, a carbon nano tube and fullerene.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the organic compound comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of phenol resin, franc resin, xylene resin, polyimide, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose, pitch, tar and sugar.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon source is mixed with the carbon source in a mole ratio of about 1:1.5 to about 1:3.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon source is mixed with the carbon source in a mole ratio of about 1:1.8 to about 1:2.7.
