Reference
Synthesis mechanism and characterization of tantalum boride powder prepared by boron/carbothermal reduction
- This study investigated the synthesis mechanism of tantalum boride (TaB2) powder via the boron/carbothermal reduction method, based on thermodynamic calculations and experimental results. The insufficient presence of the intermediate product B2O3 leads to the emergence of TaC and Ta3B4, while in the presence of a sufficient boron source in the reaction system, the primary products formed include TaB2, TaC, and B2O3, with TaC subsequently reacting with B2O3 and carbon to yield TaB2.
