Pore Formation During the Pyrolysis of C-Nb2O5 and C-Ta2O5 Xerogels
- Binary organic-inorganic gels have been prepared by mixing a carbonaceous hydrosol and a Nb2O5 or Ta2O5 sol derived by hydrolysis of the alkoxides. The gels are pyrolyzed under an inert atmosphere into precursors in which carbon and the metal oxides are mixed very intimately. High temperature treatment converts the precursors into the cubic face centered carbides. The precursors as well as the carbides have been shown to be micro- and mesoporous materials. Measurements of nitrogen adsorption reveal a characteristic change of the shapes of the isotherms (Type I → Type IV) and of the hysteresis loops (H4 → H2 → H1) during the thermal processes. Pore widening has been observed with rising temperature. The phenomena of crystallization, carbothermal reduction and sintering were found to control the pore shape and size. The results of the adsorption measurement correlate well with those of the thermoanalytical and X-ray diffraction studies.
