核心概念
過渡金屬氮化物 (TMN) 在氫環境中的還原會導致其功函數降低,當功函數降至特定閾值 (ϕTH) 時,還原反應會因氫原子優先與過渡金屬原子鍵合而非與氮原子鍵合而停止,此現象可用於預測氫保護塗層的化學穩定性。
統計資料
氫自由基通量:1021±1 H* m−2 s−1
暴露溫度:700 °C
薄膜厚度:5 ± 0.5 nm
功函數閾值 (ϕTH):4.3 ± 0.4 eV
引述
"This finding provides a novel perspective for comprehending the interaction of hydrogen with TM compounds and allows prediction of the chemical stability of hydrogen-protective coatings."
"In conclusion, we show that the reduction of a TMN system in H* effectively stops when its work function drops to 4.3 ± 0.4 eV."
