We demonstrate herein the orthogonal strategy for preparing Si3N4 dendrites at low temperatures using NaN3, SiCl4, and Mg powder as the starting materials. The reaction conditions, such as dose of SiCl4 and Mg, reaction temperature, and reaction time, were investigated in detail. Magnified experiments were carried out in an autoclave with a capacity of 1 L and Si3N4 dendrites were obtained with a conversion ratio of 53.08% calculated from the amount of the limited reactant NaN3 (because NaN3 is relatively expensive). Estimated from the magnified experiments, the cost of Si3N4 is much less than the market price, which indicates that this is a promising process for industrial application.
