What is the purpose of aluminum nitride?

 Aluminum nitride is an atomic crystal, belonging to diamond-like nitride, hexagonal crystal system, wurtzite crystal structure, non-toxic, aluminum nitride is white or off-white powder.

What are the properties of aluminum nitride?

AlN can be stabilized up to 2200℃, with high room temperature strength, and the strength increases and decreases slowly with temperature. Aluminum nitride has good thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient, making it a good thermal shock material. It has strong corrosion resistance to molten metal and is an ideal crucible material for casting pure iron, aluminum or aluminum alloy.

Aluminum nitride is also an electrical insulator with good dielectric properties, and it is also very promising as an electrical component. The aluminum nitride coating on the gallium arsenide surface can protect it from ion implantation during the annealing process. Aluminum nitride is also a catalyst for the transformation of hexagonal boron nitride to cubic boron nitride.

What is the purpose of aluminum nitride?

Aluminum nitride is used in optoelectronic engineering, including as a dielectric layer for optical storage interfaces and electronic substrates, as a chip carrier with high thermal conductivity, and for military applications.


Due to the characteristics of the piezoelectric effect of aluminum nitride, the epitaxial stretching of aluminum nitride crystals is also used in surface acoustic wave detectors. The detector is placed on a silicon wafer, and there are few places where these films can be reliably manufactured.


The use of aluminum nitride ceramics has high room temperature and high temperature strength, small expansion coefficient, and good thermal conductivity. It can be used as heat exchange material for high temperature structural parts.


The use of aluminum nitride ceramics can withstand the corrosion properties of metals and alloys such as iron and aluminum, and can be used as a crucible and mold material for smelting metals such as Al, Cu, Ag, and Pb.

Overview of aluminum nitride

Similar to various semiconductors, aluminum nitride powder has excellent thermal conductivity, high electrical insulation and thermal expansion characteristics, making it the best material for sintered bodies.

Aluminum nitride is stable at high temperatures in an inert atmosphere and melts at a temperature of approximately 2200°C. In vacuum, AlN decomposes at ~1800°C. In the air, surface oxidation will occur above 700°C. Even at room temperature, a surface oxide layer with a thickness of 5-10 nm was detected. The oxide layer can protect the material at temperatures up to 1370°C. Above this temperature, bulk oxidation will occur. Aluminum nitride is stable in hydrogen and carbon dioxide atmospheres up to 980°C.

The material slowly dissolves in inorganic acid by grain boundary erosion, and dissolves in strong alkali by erosion of aluminum nitride crystal grains. Aluminum nitride can withstand most molten salts (including chloride and cryolite).

Application of aluminum nitride

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is an inorganic non-metallic material of diamond-like nitride, which has good thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient. It is a good thermal shock material. Strong resistance to molten metal corrosion, it is an ideal crucible material for smelting and casting pure iron, aluminum or aluminum alloy. Aluminum nitride is also an electrical insulator with good dielectric properties, and it also has good application prospects in the field of electronic component manufacturing.

1. Manufacture of integrated circuit substrates, electronic devices, optical devices, radiators, high-temperature crucibles and preparation of metal-based and high-resolution composite materials

2. Thermally conductive silicon and thermally conductive epoxy.

3. Nano lubricants and antiwear agents.

4. High thermal conductivity plastic

Due to the piezoelectric properties of AlN, epitaxially grown thin-film crystalline aluminum nitride is used for surface acoustic wave sensors (SAW) deposited on silicon wafers. One application is radio frequency filters, which are widely used in mobile phones and are called film bulk acoustic resonators (FBAR). This is a MEMS device that uses aluminum nitride sandwiched between two metal layers.

AlN is also used to construct piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers, which emit and receive ultrasonic waves, which can be used for aerial ranging up to one meter.

Lithium nitride is the only stable alkali metal nitride

  Overview of Lithium Nitride  Li3N  Powder Lithium nitride is a metallic nitrogen compound with the molecular formula Li3N. It is the only stable alkali metal nitride. It is a purple or red crystalline solid, with a high melting point and a light green luster in reflected light and ruby color in transmitted light. Exposure to the air over a long period of time will eventually result in lithium carbonate. The chemistry of basic metal nitrides is extremely limited, and only lithium nitride is stable and easily prepared among binary compounds (sodium nitrite and potassium nitrite are prepared only under more extreme conditions). Lithium nitride belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. There are lithium and nitrogen layers composed of lithium and nitrogen atoms in lithium nitride crystal. The lithium atoms are arranged like carbon atoms in a graphite crystal, with nitrogen atoms at the center of a hexagon of lithium atoms. There is a lithium layer between the lithium and ni...

  Overview of Cuprous oxide  Cu2O  Powder Cuprous oxide,   the chemical formula is Cu2O, is monovalent copper oxide, a bright red powder solid, almost insoluble in water, in acidic solution disproportionation into copper and copper elemental, in the wet air gradually oxidized into black copper oxide. Cuprous oxide is mainly used in the manufacture of ship bottom antifouling paint(used to kill lower Marine animals), insecticides, and various copper salts, analytical reagents, red glass, but also used in the preparation of copper plating and copper plating alloy solution. Copper(I)oxide is also known as an inorganic compound of copper oxide with the chemical formula Cu2O. It's essentially covalent. The copper(I)oxide crystallizes in a cubic structure. When heated, hydrogen tends to reduce the disproportionation it undergoes in acidic solutions that produce copper (II) ions and copper. When the copper oxide is gently heated with metal copper, it is converted to cuprous ...

  Overview of Tungsten Disulfide Tungsten disulfide  as a potential battery material is also expected to benefit from more market replenishment. Tungsten disulfide is a layered material with remarkable surface effects, electron mobility, thermochemical stability and high electron density of states. It has been widely used for lithium and sodium storage. For example, nanocomposites as conductive additives or graphene composites as battery cathode materials can exhibit higher specific capacity and discharge efficiency, making up for the deficiencies of single-component WS2 or C as anode materials. The advent of sodium batteries is expected to alleviate the current shortage of lithium resources on the rapid development of the new energy industry, and will further stimulate the application of transition metal dichalcogenides such as tungsten disulfide WS2 in the field of power storage.  Lithium-ion batteries are a key raw material for developing energy devices and realizing t...
