Abstract
This study investigated the synthesis mechanism of tantalum boride (TaB2) powder via the boron/carbothermal reduction method, based on thermodynamic calculations and experimental results. The insufficient presence of the intermediate product B2O3 leads to the emergence of TaC and Ta3B4, while in the presence of a sufficient boron source in the reaction system, the primary products formed include TaB2, TaC, and B2O3, with TaC subsequently reacting with B2O3 and carbon to yield TaB2. TaB2 powder was successfully synthesized at 1500°C with the addition of an excess of 20 wt% B4C. The particle size of the powder was approximately 298 nm, and the oxygen content and carbon content in the powder were 0.6 and 0.1 wt.%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
