Synthesis and Phase Evolution of Ultra-High Temperature MC-Type Carbides (M = Hf, Ta, Nb, Zr, Ti) via a Molecular Precursor Approach
In the present work, a series of single-source precursors were prepared via a one-pot synthesis strategy using transition metal chlorides, acetylacetone, and hydroquinone as raw materials. The molecular structure, cross-linking behavior, and polymer-to-ceramic transformation of the obtained precursors were systematical...
