Abstract Transition metal nitrides are widely used in catalysis, energy storage, electronic devices, and biomedicine due to their unique physical and chemical properties, such as high hardness, high melting points, excellent conductivity, and chemical stability. Arc plasma, an efficient and environmentally friendly preparation technology, has garnered significant attention in the field of transition metal nitride synthesis due to its high reaction temperature, excellent product purity, enhanced reactivity, and strong controllability. This paper introduces arc plasma and examines its impact on the preparation process, summarizing the current applications of transition metal nitrides in coatings, catalysis, magnetic refrigeration, and superconductivity. In the paper, the development trends of arc plasma in transition metal nitride synthesis are also discussed, highlighting the need for future research to integrate advanced characterization techniques with simulation and computational methods to gain a deeper understanding of material growth mechanisms. Future research should combine advanced characterization techniques and simulation calculation methods to deeply understand the growth mechanism of materials, improve the purity and consistency of materials, reduce energy consumption and production costs, and realize the precise control of plasma on the microstructure and properties of transition metal nitrides.
