Easy synthesis of TiC nanocrystallite

Fabrication of Carbon Modified Visible Light Active n-TiO2 Thin Films by Wet Process for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

“…The XRD results demonstrate that the crystal structure of these films is of anatase form with an average crystallite size of 12.5 nm. In addition to anatase phase, these films also show the presence of oxycarbide, as identified by two peaks at 2θ = 36.2 º and 41.7 º in which doped carbon substitutes oxygen sites in TiO 2 lattice (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). The peak for oxycarbide at 2θ = 61.3 o is not discernible since it overlaps with the peak at 2θ = 61.99 for anatase TiO 2 .…”

Microstructural characterisation of carbon doped CrAlTiN nanoscale multilayer coatings

“…Table 5 summarizes the lattice parameters and average crystallite size of the fcc phase in the respective samples, which were calculated using the sin 2 Ψ method [27]. The calculated lattice parameters of this fcc structure cannot exactly match any known phases, such as the lattice parameter for stoichiometric TiN (0.424 nm), CrN (0.417 nm) [28,29], TiC (0.431 nm) [30], AlN (0.412 nm) [31] and TiCN (0.426 nm) [32], but is close to CrN.…”

“…Recently, ternary Cr-X-N coatings, where X is the alloying element such as Ti [7,8], Al [9], Si [10], B [11], C [12], and Ni [13], etc., have been actively investigated to improve the properties of CrN based coatings. For example, in comparison to CrN coatings, Cr-Al-N coatings have a higher hardness (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32) and much better oxidation resistance (up to 900°C) due to the formation of a stable oxidation barrier of an Al 2 O 3 layer by migrating Al atoms to the surface region [14]. Most recently, a CrN-based Cr-Ti-Al-N coating system has been developed by Teer Coatings to improve the performance of twist drills and extrusion dies [15,16].…”

Synthesis of Ti(C, O, N) from ilmenite at low temperature by a novel reducing and carbonitriding approach

“…Furthermore, the extent of reaction is limited by the contact area between the reactants and the reductant (carbon), which results in the unreacted carbon and titanium oxides existing in the product . There are still various other methods to prepare titanium carbide, such as Mg‐thermal reduction, Ca‐thermal reduction, self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis (SHS), mechanically induced self‐sustaining reaction (MSR), sol‐gel process, electrochemical reduction and so on. But none of them has been used for commercial production so far.…”
