What is zirconium-nitride (ZnN)?
Zirconium nitride, with its chemical formula ZrN, has excellent corrosion resistance. It also has high hardness, lubricity, and ductility. This coating is attractive due to its many properties. It is applied using physical vapor deposit. It is available in the form a yellow crystalline dust or a beautiful light golden coating.
The zirconium-nitride has a density of 7,09, a hardness of 980019600MPa and a melt point of (2980 plus/minus 50)degC. Zirconium is not soluble, although it is soluble to a small extent in inorganic acids. Zirconium (ZrN), because of its properties, can be used in many different ways.
ZrN produced by physical vapor deposit (PVD), is similar in color to elemental Gold. ZrN has a resistivity of 12.0mO*cm at room temperature, a temperature coefficient resistivity of 5.6*10-8O*cm/K and a superconducting threshold temperature of 10.4K. The relaxation lattice parameters is 0.4575nm. The elastic modulus and hardness are 450 GPa.
What is zirconium-nitride used for?
Zirconium Nitride is a hard ceramic similar to titanium Nitride and a cement like refractory. This material can be used to make refractory materials as well as laboratory crucibles, cermets or cermet alloys. Physical vapor deposition is a coating method that is commonly used on medical equipment, industrial components (especially drills), automotive, aerospace, and other parts exposed to high wear or corrosive conditions. In the case of alloying ZrN with Al, electronic structure is developed from the local bond symmetry octahedral. This symmetry is distorted as the Al content rises, resulting in a more complex structure with a higher hardness.
For rockets, zirconium-nitride is recommended for the lining of hydrogen peroxide fuel tanks in airplanes and rockets.
Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) compounds are composed of different crystal structures. These vary depending on their composition. ZrN is an alloy compound that has been discovered in the ZrN system. Not only do they have excellent chemical characteristics, but they can also be used in junctions, diffusion laminations, low temperature instruments, etc. These compounds can be used in three-dimensional integrated electronic coils as well as metal-based semiconductor transistors. The ZrN compounds have superior wear resistance to pure zirconium, as well as a higher superconducting threshold temperature.
Preparation and use of zirconium powder
The main processes for the synthesis of zirconium oxide powder include direct nitridation using nitrogen on Zr metals, high-energy ball milling, microwave plasma, benzene method, aluminum nitridation and magnesium thermal reduction. There are suitable routes for different sizes and particle shapes. The mass production of Zirconium Nitride and other Transition Metal Nitrides is possible. It should be noted, that due to the formation solid solution within the ZrNZrCZrO’ system, the nitriding product in CRN/CN is represented by Zr (N C O). It is necessary to perform a CRN two-step process. The nitrite is converted from zirconium carburide (ZrC), which was produced earlier as an intermediate. The CN method is a direct nitridation process of ZrO2 with carbon. Only one heat treatment procedure is required. It is possible that the latter method can be more time-efficient and energy-efficient in producing zirconium-nitride.
In oxygen reduction, zirconium nitride surpasses platinum
Pt-based materials play an important role in microelectronics, anti-cancer medicines, automotive catalysts, and electrochemical energy-conversion equipment. Pt, the most common catalyst for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR), is used in fuel cell and metal-air battery applications. Its scalability is however limited by its scarcity as well as its cost and toxicity. In this study, we demonstrate that nano-particles of zirconium (ZrN), can replace or exceed Pt in ORR catalysts for alkaline environments. The synthesized ZrN (nanoparticles) exhibit high oxygen-reduction performance, and are as active as the commonly used commercial platinum/carbon (Pt/C), catalyst. Both materials show the same half wave potential (E1/2 = 0.80 V), after 1000 ORR cycle, and ZrN shows a greater stability than Pt/C catalyst (DE1/2 than = 3 mV). In 0.1 M KOH. ZrN is also more efficient and has higher cycles in zinc-air battery than Pt/C. ZrN replacing Pt may lower costs and encourage the use electrochemical energy devices. ZrN could also be useful in catalytic systems.
Enhanced Photoluminescence Combined with a Periodic array of Organic Dyes and Zirconium Nitride Nanoparticles
Due to their excellent optical properties, noble metals like gold have been used in plasma technology. The melting temperature of gold, particularly in nanoscale, is relatively low. The limitations of materials prevent the exploration of plasmons for multiple applications. Transition metal nitrides are promising substitutes for conventional materials because of their high mechanical and thermo-mechanical stability, and also acceptable plasma characteristics within the visible spectrum. Zirconium (ZrN), a promising material substitute, has a carrier density higher than titanium (TiN), the gold Supplementary material most studied. In this research, we made a periodic ZrN-nanoparticle array and found out that the ZrN array increased the photoluminescence in the organic dyes. This photoluminescence was 9.7 times stronger when viewed under visible light. The experiments confirmed that ZrN is a good alternative to gold for further developing plasmons, and relieving the limitations associated to conventional materials.
