Abstract

The formation of IrB₂, IrB_1.35, IrB_1.1 and IrB monoboride phases in the Ir-B ceramic nanopowder was confirmed during mechanochemical reaction between metallic Ir and elemental B powders. The Ir-B phases were analysed after 90 h of high energy ball milling and after annealing of the powder for 72 h at 1050°C in vacuo. The iridium monoboride (IrB) orthorhombic phase was synthesised experimentally for the first time and identified by powder X-ray diffraction. Additionally, the ReB₂ type IrB₂ hexagonal phase was also produced for the first time and identified by high resolution transmission electron microscope. Ir segregation along disordered domains of the boron lattice was found to occur during high temperature annealing. These nanodomains may have useful catalytic properties.
