Abstract

Niobium diboride (NbB₂) nanorods have been successfully synthesized by the reaction of NbCl₅ with NaBH₄ in the temperature range of 550-650 °C in an autoclave. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron diffraction show that the as-prepared products are NbB₂. Transmission electron micrographs shows that the average diameter of samples are in the range of 50-60 nm and the length is up to 600 nm. The mechanism for the formation of crystalline NbB₂ is proposed.
