摘要
Transition metal nitrides and carbides (MN/MC) are intriguing materials due to their combination of properties that place them between high-performance ceramics and pure metals. Recent progress in easier synthetic routes toward their production as bulk or nanostructured materials explains the current surge in sustained attention such progress has been receiving. After progressing toward easier syntheses of MN/MC nanosystems as pure phases, coupling MN/MC with a second phase for the production of hybrids and nanocomposites is considered a next important step in the development of these nanosystems. The coupled phase can simply be a different nitride or carbide; it also can be a polymer, a poly(ionic liquid) or a carbon phase, just to give a few examples. The combination of these phases with MN/MC nanoparticles could lead to multifunctional materials. The aim of the present review is to show how far the research concerning the production of MN/MC-based nanocomposites has progressed, especially in terms of controlled composition, morphology and properties. We discuss the most intensely investigated systems and related motivations, as well as partially unexplored yet appealing alternative materials.
