Synthetic method of silicon nitride nanopowder

Abstract

The invention relates to a silicon nitride nano-powder synthesis method. Silica sol, urea and methenamine are evenly mixed to obtain solution, wherein the mol ratio of the urea to the methenamine is 4.7:3-5.6:3, the mol ratio of carbon to silicon is 2.5:1-4:1; the solution is added with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and dilute sulfuric acid for addition reaction, and the acidity of a reaction medium is 6.5-7.5, and the reaction temperature is 50-60 DEG C; then condensation reaction is carried out for the mixture to generate a precursor, wherein the pH value is 3-4, the condensation temperature is 80-90 DEG C; the precursor is dried and ball-ground, and is positioned in a nitriding furnace for calcinations in 2-3L/min nitrogen flow at the temperature of 1480-1520 DEG C for 1.8-2.2 hours to synthesize Si3N4 powder; the silicon nitride nano-powder is prepared by decarbonizing the synthetic Si3N4 powder at the temperature of 570-630 DEG C for 3.7-4.2 hours. The silicon nitride nano-powder synthesis method takes organic carbon as a carbon source, organic nitrogen and nitrogen as a nitrogen source, and the silica sol as a silicon source, and has the advantages of high product quality, low production cost and large production scale. The average particle size of the prepared Si3N4 powder is 43-100nm, and the purity of the Si3N4 powder can be up to 100%.
