Solution Phase Preparative Routes to Nitride Morphologies of Interest in Catalysis

摘要: This review assesses the track record and prospects of non-oxide sol–gel solvothermal routes to nitride materials for use in catalysis. There is a strongly developing body synthesis methods that yield highly porous materials, some with engineered pore structures, nanocrystalline high surface areas anisotropic nanocrystals have their area tuned particular crystal face. Most existing catalytic work on such solution-derived nitrides has focussed utilising base properties due bound amide imide groups silicon (imido)nitride compositions, but there are opportunities extend these other interesting compositions.
