Abstract
The synthesis of metallic transition metal nitrides (TMNs) has traditionally been performed under harsh conditions, which makes it difficult to prepare TMNs with high surface area and porosity due to the grain sintering. Herein, we report a general and rapid (30 s) microwave synthesis method for preparing TMNs with high specific surface area (122.6-141.7 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>-1</sup>) and porosity (0.29-0.34 cm<sup>3</sup> g<sup>-1</sup>). Novel single-crystal porous WN, Mo<sub>2</sub>N, and V<sub>2</sub>N are first prepared by this method, which exhibits strong surface plasmon resonance, photothermal conversion, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering effects. Different from the conventional low-temperature microwave absorbing media such as water and polymers, as new concept absorbing media, hydrated metal oxides and metallic metal oxides are found to have a remarkable high-temperature microwave heating effect and play key roles in the formation of TMNs. The current research results provide a new-concept microwave method for preparing high lattice energy compounds with high specific surface.
