Abstract
Precursors for Zr/Si/C multiphase ceramics were synthesized by the reactions of dilithiozirconocene complex with dichlorodimethylsilane, methyltrichlorosilane and dichloromethylvinylsilane, respectively. The precursor-to-ceramic process of the precursor was investigated by TG-GC–MS and TG-FTIR analyses, confirming a complete transformation from organometallic polymers into ceramics below 800 °C. Annealing experiments of the derived ceramics at temperatures from 1000 °C to 2000 °C indicated the crystallization from ZrSiO4, ZrO2 to ZrC. Furthermore, micrometer-sized Zr/Si/C ceramic microspheres were successfully fabricated from the precursor at 1000 °C, showing surface morphology like wrinkled pea. According to the XRD, HRTEM and XPS analyses, such multiphase ceramic microspheres consist of ZrSiO4, ZrO2, and amorphous SiOxCy. Interestingly, the ceramic microspheres performed satisfactory electromagnetic wave absorbing capacity with the RLmax reaching −34 dB, which could be potential candidates for electromagnetic micro-devices.
