data for "Molten Salt-Assisted synthesis of Titanium Nitride"

data supporting the main text figures:

Figure 1. A) XRD patterns of solid state metatheses at 1000, 600, or at 600 °C with the addition of two equivalents Mg. B) XRD patterns of synthesesin different molten salts (1.25 mmol of TiO2 in 544 mg of salt, yielding a titanium molality of 2.3 mol kg –1 ) with additional Mg. References of TiN (ICSD26947), TiO 2 (ICSD 9161), and silicon are indicated in blue, red, and green, respectively. The diffraction patterns were normalized to the internal siliconreference.

Figure 2. XRD patterns for 12 or 3 h reactions of TiO 2 with A) Mg3 N2 or B) Ca 3 N2 at various temperatures in ZnCl 2 –LiCl molten salt (3 equivalentssalt). Two equivalents of magnesium were added in each case, except for the solid-state metathesis reactions at 1000 °C. References of TiN, TiO 2 , andsilicon are indicated in blue, red, and green, respectively. The diffraction patterns were normalized to an internal silicon reference for the reactions withCa 3 N2 

Figure 3. A) UV–vis absorption spectra of the TiN particles dispersed in various solvents. Inset: the top of the LSPR band in function of the refractiveindex of each solvent and B) TEM image for TiN synthesized at 350 °C through a standard 12 h molten salts-assisted reaction.
