β¦ Synopsis
Si 3 N 4 nanomaterials with different morphologies have been synthesized via direct nitridation of Si powders without using any catalyst by controlling the reaction temperature. The purified Si 3 N 4 samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the reaction temperature has an important effect on the crystalline phase and morphology of the Si 3 N 4 samples. The Si 3 N 4 samples undergo a phase transformation of a-Si 3 N 4 to b-Si 3 N 4 , and their morphologies change from nanoparticles to nanowires, and then to nanobelts with increase in the reaction temperature.

Three kinds of single-crystalline Si 3 N 4 nanomaterials, Si 3 N 4 nanowires, nanobelts and nanosheets, were synthesized by the heat treatment of Si powder in N 2 gas. The Si 3 N 4 nanowires and nanobelts are produced when the synthesis temperature and flow rate of N 2 gas are lower than 1300 1C and
Sample controlled reaction temperature (SCRT) has been used for the first time to study the kinetics of the carbothermal reduction of silica in nitrogen to obtain silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ). It is noteworthy to point out that SCRT method allows both a good control of pressure in the sample surroun
