Abstract: | Industrial production of Si3N4 from SiCI4, is increasing. An element rivaling CI in abundance and cheapness with potentially suitable chemistry for this application is sulfur. Thus, Si–S–N chemistry was investigated to determine its usefulness in producing Si3N4. Bifunctionality in S, as opposed to mono-functionality in CI, may allow special routes via polymers to become important. |
