Single crystal AlN fibers obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS)

Mechanism and kinetics of combustion-carbothermal synthesis of AlN nanopowders

“…In particular, AlN has been widely applied in heat-dissipation field for its outstanding thermal conductivity [5,6]. There are various methods to prepare AlN including direct nitridation [7,8], chemical vapor deposition [9][10][11], self-propagating high-temperature synthesis [12,13] and carbothermal reduction-nitridation [14][15][16][17][18]. The direct nitridation and carbothermal reduction-nitridation have been widely used in industry.…”

Combustion synthesis of rod-like AlN nanoparticles

“…1),4), 5) 1-D AlN nanostructures (nanofibers, 6) nanowhiskers, 7) nanowires, 8)- 10) nanotubes, 11) nanotips 12) and nanobelts 13) have been synthesized by several methods, including chemical vapor deposition, carbothermal reduction reaction and direct nitridation of Al powders.…”

AlN nanowires: synthesis, physical properties, and nanoelectronics applications

“…This, in turn, enables AlN to form a 1D morphology. As a result, a wide range of AlN-based 1D nanostructures have been successfully synthesized recently, such as nanowhiskers [10,14,15], nanowires [16], nanotubes [17], nanoneedles [18], nanocones [19], nanofibers [20], nanospheres [21,22], nanobelts [23], nanorods [24,25], nanotips [26], nanorings [27], and the hierarchical structures [28][29][30].…”
