Abstract Silicon carbide nanowire (SiC NW), as a typical wide band gap semiconductor was used light‐emitting materials and devices in high‐temperature harsh environments due to its excellent properties. In this paper, flexible ultra‐long SiC NWs membrane successfully synthesized by electrospinning subsequently sintering using phenolic resin silica sol precursors. Results of system characterization reveal that possess smooth uniform surface with diameter distribution mainly between 50‐300 nm length more than tens micrometers, forming network structure. The growth mechanism nanowires carbothermal reduction situ accompanied vapor‐solid (V‐S) reaction. present work provides simple cost‐effective way for controllable fabrication membrane. photoluminescence spectrum emerged clear blue shift, indicating potential application optoelectronic discussed the applications other fields.
