The synthesis of TMNs involves various techniques, including:
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): This method involves the reaction of metal halides with nitrogen-containing gases at high temperatures, resulting in the formation of TMNs with controlled morphology and composition. - Reactive Sputtering: In this process, a metal target is bombarded with inert gas ions in the presence of nitrogen, leading to the deposition of TMNs on substrates. - Ammonolysis: Metal oxides or chlorides are reacted with ammonia gas at elevated temperatures to produce TMNs.
