METHODOLOGY

Synthesis of SiC-GN hybrid nanocomposite A 160 mg of SiC and 40 mg of GNP were dissolved in 50 mL of
ethanol using magnetic stirrer at room temperature batch-wise. Once the solute dissolved, the beaker
mouth was closed to avoid evaporation and stirred it for 30 min and sonicated the prepared solution for
120 min to avoid agglomerations and to enhance homogeneity. The sonicated solution was transferred
into 100 mL stainless steel autoclave with Teflon coated tin for a hydrothermal reaction. The autoclave
was kept under 400 ◦C for 12 h and then at room temperature for 8 h. In order to collect the GNP-SiC
hybrid nano-composition, the obtained solution after the hydrothermal reaction was centrifuged at
3000 rpm for 20 min, and the precipitated particles were washed several times with the distilled water
[31]. Finally, the washed black precipitate was dried at 60 ◦C for 3 h in a vacuum oven. The same
procedure was followed for different wt % of GNP- SiC.
