Abstract
Biochar was proposed as a novel carbon source for synthesizing Ti3SiC2 powder with high purity by a simple pressureless sintering at 1673 K, and Ti3SiC2 grains exhibited the typical nanolayered structure. The oxidation behavior of Ti3SiC2 powder showed the parabolic law during isothermal oxidation from 1273 K to 1473 K. Dense and continuous oxidation layer consisting of mixed TiO2 and SiO2 was formed rapidly on the surface of Ti3SiC2 particles as a diffusion barrier, which effectively retarded the inward diffusion of oxygen, conferring good oxidation resistance of the powder.
