The Synthesis of Borides, Carbides and Silicides of Refractory Metals in Ionic-Electronic Melts

Statistical Experimental Design Approach for the Solvothermal Synthesis of Nanostructured Tantalum Carbide Powders

“…Therefore, the synthesis of fine tantalum carbide powders is of interest. Methodologies for the synthesis of this material include carbothermal reduction and subsequent carburization, impulse plasma synthesis in a liquid, gas‐phase condensation, solvothermal synthesis, mechano‐chemical synthesis, alkalide reduction, organometallic reactions, metathesis reactions, solid‐state reactions, synthesis in ionic/electronic melts, and electrosynthesis 9–21 . Variations of these techniques include the use of elements, compounds, or polymeric precursors as raw materials and the use of microwaves or electric fields to promote the reaction.…”

[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Variations of these techniques include the use of elements, compounds, or poly-meric precursors as raw materials and the use of microwaves or electric fields to promote the reaction. These techniques have at least one of a few shortcomings, including the inability to produce nanostructured tantalum carbide, high-energy input, long processing times, and/or issues with reaction scalability.…”

Formation of a nanoporous layer on the surface of silver and copper by dealloying of thermal diffusion coatings Me5Zn8 (Me=Ag, Cu) in a deep eutectic solvent

“…There is a known way to put γ-phase coating directly on the surface of copper or silver at high temperatures in molten salts [32]. Ternary chloride molten eutectic with the composition: KCl (24)-NaCl (17)-ZnCl 2 (59) (wt-%) was used.…”
