Funded Activity Summary

Engineering of Crystalline Ternary Ceramic Precursors. Ti3SiC2 belongs to a large group of ternary carbides that exhibit an unique combination of high temperature ceramic properties, with the electrical and thermal conductivity of metals. A great number of potential applications have been identified, but are currently limited by residual intermediate compounds, that degrade the properties. This project will use crystal structure similarities between TiCx and Ti3SiC2 to engineer a crystalline precursor, Ti3C2, which circumvents intermediate compound formation. This innovative methodology will also reduce the cost and time of fabrication. Advanced in-situ neutron diffraction techniques will be used to quantify the synthesis kinetics and optimize the method.
