Synthesis of Ti4O7 Nanoparticles by Carbothermal Reduction Using Microwave Rapid Heating

The polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is an attractive power generation method from the perspective of environmental protection. Carbon is usually used as a catalyst support in PEFC, but it is oxidized under high electrical potential conditions. Ti4O7 is expected as a new catalyst support because of its high electrical conductivity and chemical resistivity. Though Ti4O7 as a catalyst support...

Route to GaN and VN assisted by carbothermal reduction process.

A route to prepare nitrides, such as GaN, VN, and other nitrides, is reported. The reaction pathway involves a two-step process by using the as-synthesized a-C3N3.69 as precursor. The route is so potent that a series of nitrides can be directly synthesized from their oxides at moderate temperatures. A striking feature of this method lies in that a-C3N3.69 is found to play double roles as both c...

ALUMINOTHERMIC-CARBOTHERMAL REDUCTION SYNTHESIS OF NANO CRYSTALLINE Al2O3-Ti(C,N) COMPOSITE WITH DIFFERENT BED TYPES

Ceramic-matrix composites containing TiC-TiN have been used in a variety of application because of their superior properties such as high hardness, good wear resistance and high chemical stability. In this research, effect of coke and coke/calcium beds in synthesis of Al 2O3-Ti(C, N) composites using alumino-carbothermic reduction of TiO 2 has been investigated. Al, TiO 2 and active ca...

SYNTHESIS OF AL2O3-NI COMPOSITE POWDERS BY CO-PRECIPITATION METHOD

The synthesis of micro-sized, uniformly distributed Al2O3-15Vol% Ni powders were studied through three step co-precipitation of hydroxides mixtures from proper solution, calcination at air atmosphere and final step of calcined powders in a carbon bed. Al and Ni hydroxide and amorphous phase were first obtained from their salt’s solutions through chemical co-precipitation method by adjusti...

In Situ Investigation of the Carbothermal Reduction of ZnO Nanowires

Carbothermal reduction is among the oldest chemical processes, commonly used in the production of metals from the corresponding metal oxides or ores (e.g., iron from iron oxides). By using carbon as a reducing agent, decomposition of metal oxides at temperatures much lower than their typical decomposition temperatures can occur. However, a detailed fundamental understanding of such a reaction p...
