Synthesis and Characterization of Si3N4 Nanopowder by RF Induction Thermal Plasma
Abstract:
Nano-Si3N4 has been synthesized by the thermal plasma with silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) as the Si source, liquid ammonia (NH3) as the N source, and silane (SiH4) as the catalyst. And the prepared Nano-Si3N4was heat-treated atfour different temperatures of 1350°C, 1400°C, 1450°C, 1500°C. The as-prepared samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the particle size of the nano-Si3N4 powder was less than 100 nm and it was amorphous when the temperature below 1450°C. At 1500°C, the synthesized Si3N4 powder with the grain size of 10 nm was crystallized, and the α-phase Si3N4 reached more than 90%.
