摘要

This study investigates the structural and thermal properties of bulk and prepared nanotitanium carbide using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Nanotitanium carbide was prepared by the mechano-chemical synthesis. The bulk and nanotitanium carbide named as b-TiC and n-TiC, respectively. The XRD analysis exhibits the bulk and nanotitanium carbide samples that have a cubic crystal structure. The FTIR spectra reveal the presence of Ti–C and Ti–O–C bonds in the samples. The TGA analysis indicates that the thermal stability of the samples increases with decreasing particle size. The SEM images depicted the nanotitanium carbide particles have a smaller size and uniform morphology compared to the bulk sample. These results suggest that nanotitanium carbide has improved structural and thermal properties, which can be advantageous for various industrial and electrochemical applications.
