Molten Salt‐Assisted Synthesis of Titanium Nitride
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Titanium nitride is an exciting plasmonic material, with optical properties similar to gold. However, synthesizing TiN nanocrystals is highly challenging and typically requires solid‐state reactions at very high temperatures (800–1000°C). Here, the synthesis of TiN nanocrystals is achieved at temperatures as low as 350°C, in just 1 h. The strategy comprises molten salt, Mg as reductant and Ca 3 N 2 as nitride source. This brings TiN from the realm of solid‐state chemistry into the field of solution‐based synthesis in regular, borosilicate glassware.
