Abstract
The oxidative structural characterization of Si–Nb–C–O ceramic prepared by the heat-treatment of transition metal containing polymethylsilsesquioxane hybrid was investigated. The heating temperature for the pyrolysis of precursor hybrid gels strongly affected the oxidation behavior of the resultant ceramics. The hybrid gel pyrolyzed at 600∘C was rapidly oxidized, while the hybrid gel pyrolyzed at 1000∘C showed the higher resistance to oxidation. In the hybrid pyrolyzed at 600∘C, new Si–O–Nb oxygen-bridged heterometal bonds were formed after oxidation, which was confirmed by FT-IR spectra. On the other hand, silica and oxycarbide protective layer was formed on the oxidized surface of the hybrid heated at 1000∘C, as suggested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Raman spectra showed a large luminescence background, G and D bands before oxidation. After oxidation, however, the luminescence background disappeared and G band was more symmetric than that of non-oxidative product. This strongly suggested the predominant oxidation of radical and related unstable carbon species in the ceramics.
