“…Although rhenium is rare and can be difficult to synthesize,v arious methods have still been employed to grow particles,p owders,t hin films,a nd coatings.T hese techniques include chemical vapor deposition (CVD), [7,12] chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), [15] pulsed laser evaporation (PLE), [16] electron-beam evaporation, [12] electrodeposition, [5] molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), [8] and magnetron sputtering. [17] Even more limited has been the preparation of rhenium nitrides which have been synthesized by sputtering, [18,19] ion implantation, [20] pulsed laser deposition, [21] and high-pressure solid-state metathesis. [22,23] There is thus still room for introducing new methods for preparing these intriguing refractory/noble metal materials to make them more widely available for various applications using highly controllable methods with moderate deposition conditions.…”
