“…[1][2][3][4] Until now, several methods have been developed for the synthesis of ZrC including carbothermal reduction, 5 chemical vapor deposition, 6 self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, 7 mechanochemically activated synthesis, 8 laser pyrolysis, 9 wire explosion, 10 electrospinning, 11 and sol-gel based method. It has a high melting point, solid-state phase stability, low evaporation rate, good thermal shock resistance, high hardness, high modulus of elasticity, high corrosion and wear resistance, high thermal, and electrical conductivity.…”
