In the field of advanced materials, hafnium (Hf) has become an indispensable element in nuclear energy, semiconductors, aerospace, and other high-tech industries due to its unique physical and chemical properties. With the rise of nanotechnology, hafnium-based nanomaterials are showing even broader application prospects, including nano hafnium powder, nano hafnium silicide powder, nano hafnium nitride powder, and nano hafnium oxide powder in various forms.

VIMATERIAL has long been dedicated to the research, development, and supply of high-performance nanomaterials. We provide hafnium-based nanopowders with a purity of ≥99.9%, and can customize particle size, distribution, and packaging according to customer requirements, meeting the diverse needs of both scientific research and industrial applications.

Nano Hafnium Powder: Core Fundamental Material

Nano hafnium powder refers to hafnium metal powder with particle sizes in the nanometer range (typically 10–100 nm). Compared with conventional hafnium powder, nano hafnium powder offers more prominent advantages due to its large specific surface area, high reactivity, high melting point (~2227°C), and high density (13.3 g/cm³).

Product Features

High melting point & heat resistance: Suitable for use in extreme high-temperature environments.

Excellent neutron absorption: Hafnium is a key control material in nuclear reactors.

High chemical stability: Provides outstanding corrosion resistance under most conditions.

High surface activity: Nano-scale particles easily bond or react with other materials, facilitating the preparation of composite materials.

Application Fields

Nuclear industry: Reactor control rods, neutron-absorbing components

Aerospace: Additives for high-temperature alloys, enhancing heat resistance and corrosion resistance

Semiconductors & energy: Catalyst carriers and advanced electronic materials

Storage & Safety

Due to its high reactivity, nano hafnium powder should be handled and stored with care:

Keep sealed in a dry, cool environment; avoid exposure to air to prevent moisture absorption, oxidation, or agglomeration, which may affect dispersion and performance.

Recommended storage under inert gas or in vacuum conditions.

Wear protective equipment during handling to prevent inhalation or direct skin contact with nanoparticles.

Packaging can be customized and supplied in quantities according to customer requirements.

As a trusted nano hafnium powder supplier, we provide products with purity ≥99.9%, and can customize particle size specifications according to application needs, ensuring stable material performance and reliable supply.

Nano Hafnium Silicide Powder (HfSi₂): High-Temperature Structural and Electronic Material

Nano hafnium silicide powder is produced by the variable current laser ion beam vapor phase method. It features high purity, fine particle size, uniform distribution, large specific surface area, high surface activity, excellent thermal resistance, and oxidation resistance. With a high melting point (1680°C), high hardness, superior electrical conductivity, and strong oxidation resistance, it is an important functional material for high-temperature and electronic applications.

Application Fields

Hafnium disilicide (HfSi₂) is primarily used in the preparation of sputtering targets and other advanced materials, including:

Semiconductor contact materials (electrodes, interconnect layers)

High-temperature structural materials and metal-ceramic composites

Corroson-resistant coatings and specialty alloys

Through nano-scale processing, the reactivity and sintering performance of hafnium silicide are significantly improved, making it more suitable for the preparation of high-performance electronic devices and structural components.

Nano Hafnium Nitride Powder (HfN): Ultra-High Hardness Material

Nano hafnium nitride powder (HfN) is produced by the aerosol ablation method. It features ultra-high hardness, an extremely high melting point (~3310°C), and strong chemical inertness, making it a representative material in the field of hard materials.
