“…In the process, many metals or metal oxides additives, such as Fe, Ni, MgO, CaO, TiO 2 , Cr 2 O 3 , etc. have been reported [8,9,10,11], which act as catalyt for the nitridation of silicon powders. However, these additives cannot facilitate the growth of β-Si 3 N 4 particles with approximate spherical morphology.…”

In this work, the quasi-spherical β-Si3N4 powders were synthesized via an efficient direct nitridation strategy with CaF2 as the catalytic material under NH3 atmosphere. The effect of CaF2 on phase composition and crystalline morphology was studied. CaF2 additive can accelerate the nitridation of silicon powders, and the particles of nitridation products tend to have an equiaxed structure with the CaF2 additive increasing. When 4 wt% CaF2 additive or more was added, submicron β-Si3N4 particles with quasi-spherical morphology and eminent crystal integrity were obtained. In contrast, irregular α-Si3N4 particles appear as the main phase with less than 4 wt% CaF2 additive. The growth mechanism of Si3N4 particles was also discussed. CaxSiyOz liquid phase is crucial in the nitridation of silicon powders with CaF2 additive.
