▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The method involves pouring silicon monoxide powder in a crucible (101), and placing a carbon sheet on the silicon monoxide powder (102). The graphene nanoplatelets are placed on the carbon sheet (103). A second carbon sheet is placed on the graphene nanoplatelets (104). The crucible is enclosed with an alumina lid (105) to withstand silicon monoxide gas pressure inside the crucible. The crucible is placed in the middle of a vacuum sintering furnace (106) to allow the silicon monoxide powder to react with the carbon. The crucible is sintered (107) at 1350 degrees Celsius for a soaking time of 30 minutes to evaporate silicon monoxide powder and react with the carbon to form silicon carbide on the graphene nanoplatelets, in which the coating of the silicon carbide on the graphene nanoplatelets exhibits enhanced oxidation resistance at approximately 610 degrees Celsius. USE - Method for coating silicon carbide on graphene nanoplatelets. ADVANTAGE - The method is of low cost and is simple that improves oxidation resistance of graphene nanoplatelets to enable its use in high temperature applications. The nanoplatelets can be used as reinforcement for metal or ceramic matrix composites that improves the mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, toughness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity. The silicon carbide coated graphene nanoplatelets produced find applications in cutting tools, heat sinks, and electronic packaging to improve the overall product performance in terms of heat dissipation and durability.
