Exposure of Ni–Si and Co–Si alloys to Ar–CO2 and Ar–CO–CO2 gases at 1130°C led to rapid growth of crystalline SiO2 nanofibers from the alloy surfaces. The fibers were circular in cross section, of diameter about 50 nm, rather regularly spaced, aligned approximately normal to the alloy surface, and made up about 50 vol.% of a uniformly thick reaction-product layer in which the pore space was continuous. The fibers were crystobalite, containing no detectable nickel or cobalt and free of gross defects. The mass of silica product grew according to parabaolic kinetics at rates about 3 orders of magnitude faster than the rate at which pure silicon oxidized. Mass-transport calculations showed that the reactant-gas species was CO2 not O2. Local equilibrium was achieved within the alloy subsurface regions where a diffusive flux of silicon to the surface was maintained. Reaction rates are shown in the case of Ni–Si alloys to be consistent with control by SiO(g) diffusion through the pore space of the silica nanofiber layer.
