The adsorption behavior of the amino acid, glycine (Gly), via the carboxyl, hydroxyl, and
amino groups onto the surfaces of Al 12 N 12 and Al 16 N 16 fullerene-like cages were …

A novel and simple microwave-assisted combustion procedure for the synthesis of a number
of technologically important metal nitrides was demonstrated. The method involves the …

A new homogeneous mixing precursor of alumina and carbon (Al2O3+ C) was prepared by
low temperature combustion synthesis (LCS) with aluminum nitrate (Al (NO3) 3· 9H2O), urea …

The formation of CO and CO2 during the reduction of ZrO2, SiO2, TiO2, Cr2O3, WO3, and
MoO3 by carbon was studied using two methods:(1) the carrier-gas hot-extraction method …

In this work, an efficient carbothermal reduction–nitridation strategy was rationally designed
and delicately tailored to directly synthesize spherical granules of aluminum nitride. Effects …

Abstract Hexagonal Aluminium nitride (h-AlN) is an important wide-bandgap semiconductor
material which is conventionally fabricated by high temperature carbothermal reduction of …

Spherical AlN particles were synthesized by reduction-nitridation of spherical Al2O3
particles using NH3 and propane (C3H8) as reactant gases. Phase analysis of the reaction …

A two‐step sintering process is described in which the first step suppresses densification
while allowing the α‐to‐β phase transformation to proceed, and the second step, at higher …

Polycrystalline hollow AlN nanospheres with diameters ranging from 20 to 200 nm and shell
thickness of about 10 nm were successfully synthesized through the reaction of irregular Al …
