Super‐reactive Nanoenergetic Gas Generators Based on Periodate Salts

Assembly and reactive properties of Al/CuO based nanothermite microparticles

“…Decreasing the size of conventional thermite to the nanoscale greatly increases the interfacial contact, and reduces the diffusion distance between fuel and oxidizer, thus resulting in a significantly enhanced reactivity [6,[15][16][17][18]. Moreover, it has been observed that both ignition delay and ignition temperature are also decreased when micro-sized particles are replaced by nanoparticles [19].…”

“…Each sample was evaluated in triplicate and the average values reported. The details of this system can be found in our previous works [18,37].…”

“…The details of the T-jump wire ignition experiments, and the operational setting can be found in our previous works [18,36,38]. Typically, a platinum filament of $11 mm long, 76 lm diameter coated with nanothermite sample ($4 mm long) was ramped to $1600 K in 3 ms, at a heating rate of $4 Â 10 5 K s À1 to ignite the sample.…”

Design and fabrication of energetic superlattice like-PTFE/Al with superior performance and application in functional micro-initiator

“…Preparation nanoenergetics-on-a-chip (NoC) is one key to the great advancement in the microscale energyconsumption devices/systems and can be applied widely in fields such as microignition, microactuation, micropropulsion, and micro-power generation [39][40][41]. Therefore, to demonstrate the suitability of energetic superlattice materials for NoC, superlattice like-PTFE/Al are integrated with Au/Pt/Cr micro-heater that is patterned on a silicon substrate.…”

Optical properties of orthovanadates, and periodates studied from first principles theory

“…These compounds decompose at high temperature and produce oxygen making them to act as good oxidizing agents. Periodates replaces perchlorates with less toxicity, and more thermodynamic stability [14,15]. These can also be used as nano energetic gas detectors, for gas generation, as conduction salts [16], and also find illumination application.…”
