Preparation and Characterization of Aluminum Nitride Nano-Wire

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminum nitride (AlN) nano-wire was synthesized by double decomposition with AlCl3 and NaN3 in stainless steel cauldron without solvent and using Mg as promoter. The effect of reaction temperature, holding time and promoter to the structure, surface morphology and particle size are analyzed. The synthesized AlN was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). A series of electron microscopy characterization results show that the optimum reaction conditions are as follows: reaction temperature is 450°C and holding time is 8h. The average diameter of AlN nano-wire is 100nm.
