This work highlights the first demonstration of a low-temperature in situ formation of Co nanocrystallites embedded within an amorphous silicon nitride matrix through careful control of the chemistry behind material design using perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) as a Si3N4 precursor further coordinated with CoCl2 and ammonia as a pyrolysis atmosphere. The Co nucleation was allowed to proceed at temperatures as low as 400 °C via thermal decomposition of Co2N pre-formed in situ by the reaction of CoCl2 with the Si centers of PHPS at the early stage of pyrolysis (220-350 °C).
这项工作首次展示了通过使用全氢聚硅氮烷(PHPS)作为Si3N4前驱体,并进一步与CoCl2和氨气作为热解气氛进行配位,在材料设计背后的化学过程进行仔细控制,从而在低温下原位形成嵌入非晶硅氮化物基体中的Co纳米晶体。通过在热解早期(220-350°C)使CoCl2与PHPS的Si中心反应原位预形成的Co2N进行热分解,Co成核得以在低至400°C的温度下进行。
