Titanium nitride is an exciting plasmonic material, with optical properties similar to gold. However, synthesizing TiN nanocrystals is highly challenging and typically requires solid‐state reactions at very high temperatures (800–1000°C). Here, the synthesis of TiN nanocrystals is achieved at temperatures as low as 350°C, in just 1 h. The strategy comprises molten salt, Mg as reductant and Ca 3 N 2 as nitride source. This brings TiN from the realm of solid‐state chemistry into the field of solution‐based synthesis in regular, borosilicate glassware.
