What is Zinc Nitride?
The Zn3N2 powder was first developed by Juza and Hahn in 1940 and remains a comparatively unstudied material. Zinc nitride is an n-type semiconductor with a wide direct bandgap and high refractive index. Zinc nitride (Zn3N2) is considered a capable new material because of its favorable electrical and optical properties given photovoltaic electronic and optoelectronic applications. Recently the capability of Zn3N2 for reducing interfacial tension under EM in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) was investigated. Electromagnetic (EM) applications depend on the interaction of materials with EM fields. Therefore, the scheme of active EM materials needs regulation over the magnetic and electric magnetic components in these materials, which can interact with the time-varying magnetic and electric field components linked with the EM fields. In contrast to conductors, dielectric materials consist of materials where bound electrons are predominant. However, displacement of the electric charge can still occur, which leads to a range of electrical properties. We consider the simple model of an atom shown in Figure 1a, which represents a positively charged nucleus and a distribution of bound electrons in orbit around it. Because there is no applied electric field, the atom is electrically neutral. When an electric field is applied, the electron cloud and nucleus are displaced relative to one another, as shown in Figure 1b. This charge separation leads to an electric dipole along the electric field, and the atom is said to be polarized.
 

The preparation of Zn3N2 nanoparticles by sol-gel auto
Many researchers have used metal oxide nanoparticles in EOR applications, but no one has investigated metal nitrides for oil recovery yet. Therefore a comprehensive analysis is necessary to explore the efficiency of metal nitrides towards oil-water IFT reduction. In this work, we report, for the first time, the preparation of Zn3N2 nanoparticles by sol-gel auto-combustion method using an N2 environment in a tube furnace during the annealing process. We also report the structural properties of Zn3N2 nanoparticles determined by XRD and EM behavior for application in EOR. It is well recognized that 60-70 % of oil stays in place as an irregular phase in the form of oil drops stuck by capillary force after primary and secondary recovery. From the start of the progress of tertiary recovery techniques, oil industries are still exploring new technology to enhance oil recovery procedures. Since energy demands rise, the oil industries must discover a new solution to recover the entrapped oil after secondary recovery. Various laboratory investigations reveal that nanofluids can recover trapped oil from reservoirs efficiently. Applying nanoparticles can reduce the oil-water IFT, change the wettability of the rock surface and lower the chemical adsorption onto the rock surface.

Synthesis of Zn3N2 nanoparticles
Synthesis of Zn3N2 nanoparticles has been done using the SGAC method. An aqueous solution of zinc nitrate was prepared in distilled water. Citric acid was used as fuel. Precursors were mixed and heated on a hot plate at 90° C. After removing the gel formation magnetic stirrer. The gel was heated at 250° C for self-combustion. The combusted porous powder was crushed using a pestle and mortar. The powder was heated in a tube furnace in an N2 environment to get zinc nitride nanocrystals. The microstructure and crystallinity of the sample were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) using an Xpert 3 (PANalytical) powder diffractometer to find the crystal structure of the synthesized sample. Rame-Hart Goniometer (Model 260) was used to investigate the oil-water IFT after introducing Zn3N2 nanoparticles. The contact angle after surface treatment with Zn3N2 nanofluid was also measured to explore the capability of changing wettability. The pendant drop experiment was performed to find the oil-water IFT and contact angle. The experimental setup includes the light source, CCD camera, cuvette, micro-syringe, and drop image software.
