Abstract
Molybdenum nitride (MoN) nanoparticles with high BET surface area (S BET = 351.0352 m2/g) have been successfully obtained from ammonium polymolybdate, (NH4)6Mo7O24. Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis were used to investigate the effect of water in the precursor. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to determine the empirical formula of the product. Also, MoN nanorods with high aspect ratio have been prepared using Al2O3 template. XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to characterize the structure of the nanorods.
