Abstract: | Multiphase ceramics like ZrC/SiC are promising candidates as ultra-high temperature ceramics for applications in extreme environments. In this work, non-oxide precursors for ZrC/SiC and HfC/SiC composite ceramics were synthesized by a one-pot reaction of three components – metal source, silicon source, and activating reagent. Molecular structures of the precursors were identified by 1H NMR and FTIR. Transformation process of the precursors to the ZrC/SiC ceramics was investigated via XRD and SEM. After heat-treatment at 1600 °C under argon, the obtained ZrC/SiC and HfC/SiC ceramics features a particle size of 100–200 nm and high metal content without excess carbon. The elemental composition of pyrolyzed ceramics can be tuned by varying the ratio of the reagents in the synthesis of precursors. This strategy also inspires a facile fabrication of composite ceramics with other elemental compositions. |
