Abstract
Mixed anion oxides are emerging materials showing a variety of physical and chemical properties. Among them oxynitrides are widely investigated because of notable photocatalytic, dielectric, luminescent and electronic properties. Nitrides show more positive free energies of formation than oxides because of the higher stability of N2 molecule with respect to O2 and the unfavourable electron affinity of nitrogen compared to oxygen. However the stability of oxynitrides is higher than for nitrides, and they easily form from oxides in presence of reactive gases as NH3. In addition to ammonolysis several synthetic strategies have been developed in the last years leading to the stabilization of relevant materials with a variety of structures. In this review we will discuss recent progress in the synthesis of oxynitrides emphasizing the importance of kinetic factors and the influence of preparative parameters on the structure types and oxidation states of the cations, and the consequences on physical properties.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Solid State Chemistry offers critical reviews and specialized articles written by leading experts in the field, providing a comprehensive view of solid-state chemistry. It addresses the challenge of dispersed literature by offering up-to-date assessments of research progress and recent developments. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between physical properties and structural chemistry, particularly imperfections like vacancies and dislocations. The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.
