What is Zinc Nitride
Zinc Nitride (Zn3N2) Powder is a grey powder with a cubic crystal structure. It is soluble in hydrochloric acid and can decompose at 700℃. Zinc nitride is useful in optical and electronic devices. It is doped with Oxygen to prepare a potential nitride-based transparent conductor used in semiconductors. Zinc nitride can be obtained by thermally decomposing zinc amide (zinc diamine) in an anaerobic environment at temperatures over 200 °C. The by-product of the reaction is ammonia. Zinc nitrate is
