Effect of Gaseous Medium Pressure on Plasmadynamic Synthesis Product in the C-N System with Melamine

Abstract:

The possibility of plasmodynamic synthesis in the carbon-nitrogen system when using melamine as a precursor is described in the paper. The system based on the capacitive energy storage, which allows simultaneously powering the two opposite-directed coaxial magnetoplasma accelerators, is developed. The effect of gaseous medium in the processing chamber of the system on the synthesis product is investigated by applying such techniques as X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is demonstrated that an increase in nitrogen pressure results in the structural and morphological changes in the synthesized sample, which might be caused by the increased carbon nitride yield and a great number of the appearing C-N bonds.
