Abstract
In this work, a novel polymer precursor for yttrium modified hafnium carbide (HfC) was prepared by blending polyhafnium carboxane, yttrium acetylacetonate with xylene. The pyrolysis behavior and structural evolution of the precursor were comprehensively investigated, along with a thorough examination of the microstructure and composition of the synthesized HfC particles. The results showed that Y element was introduced into the ceramics to form c-HfO2, with Hf, Y, C and O elements well distributed. The pyrolysis of the polymer precursor at 1600°C produced HfC nanocrystallites with an average grain size of 43 nm, encapsulated by an amorphous carbon shell. The synthesized HfC ceramics exhibited distinct nanostructures that varied from amorphous structure to almost spherical morphology under different pyrolysis temperatures. The underlying formation mechanisms were also discussed.
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.
