Abstract

Vanadium nitride was synthesized by one-step method using V2O5 and carbon black as raw materials in nitrogen atmosphere. The phases of different reaction products prepared in different reaction temperatures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the dynamic behavior of the process of synthesizing vanadium nitride (VN) by one-step method was studied with non-isothermal thermogravimetry. The mechanism function and kinetic parameters of reaction process were calculated by thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA), and the reaction rate equation was established. The XRD results show that for the samples tested with minimal VN after holding for 4 h at 1273 K, the main phase of products is VN at 1476 K, while some vanadium nitrides transform into vanadium carbides again over 1573 K. It is found that N2 is beneficial to stimulate reduction and proceed carbonization reaction, and the reduction and nitridation reaction can occur simultaneously. The activation energy of preparing VN by one-step method is 104.005 kJ·mol−1, and the frequency factor is 470.52 at 1280–1358 K, and 150.052 kJ·mol−1 and 2.35 × 104 at 1358–1426 K, respectively.
