In the present study, pure BaTaO2N oxynitride perovskite powder was obtained by heating a mixture of tetragonal BaCN2 and Ta2O5 in a flow of nitrogen. The BaTaO2N powder synthesized at slightly below the melting point of tetragonal BaCN2 (910 degrees C) was found to consist of coarse aggregates of 300 nm-sized particles based on scanning electron microscopy observations. In contrast, BaTaO2N powder obtained above the melting point of tetragonal BaCN2 contained highly-dispersed particles after washing with acid. This difference is attributed to the dissolution and precipitation of the surfaces of the BaTaO2N grains in the BaCN2 melt to generate grain boundary layers soluble in acid. This work represents the first report of the synthesis of a metal oxynitride using a metal carbodiimide as both the metal and nitrogen source. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
