Transition metal oxide nanoparticles: Potential nano-modifier for rocket propellants

Nickel Nanoparticle-Modified Electrode for the Electrochemical Sensory Detection of Penicillin G in Bovine Milk Samples

“…Synthesis of NiNPs. The NiNPs were synthesized from the nickel chloride-hydrazine (NiCl 2 -N 2 H 4 ) mixture in an aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution that was maintained at a high pH~12.5 [25]. The N 2 H 4 in the alkaline NaOH solution is represented by the following oxidation reaction:…”

Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate in the Presence of Copper Tungsten Oxide (CuWO4)

“…The preferred burning rate modifiers in composite propellant formulation are transition metal oxides (TMOs) and their complexes. The effect of TMOs on thermal decomposition of AP as well as on ballistic properties was studied and reviewed by many researchers [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and a substantial increase in the burning rate was observed. It has been found that TMO decreases the thermal decomposition temperature and also activation energy of ammonium perchlorate thermal decomposition reactions.…”

Capillary Electrophoresis Analysis of Metal/Metalloid Oxide Nanoparticles in Water: Method Development for the Enhancement of UV Detection Sensitivity

“…[9] Transition metal oxide NPs have arisen as a potential nano-modifier to enhance the thermal decomposition of rocket propellants. [10] Mixed metal oxide NPs have attracted great interests for many energyrelated applications such as water splitting, fuel cells, and battery technology. [11] The prevalent representative of metal oxide NPs is titania (TiO2), which is globally produced in different crystalline structures: rutile, anatase and brookite.…”

“…Equation (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) indicates that the µep is proportional to r. This relationship suggests that negatively charged particles with larger radii travel at a faster rate toward the anode (or capillary inlet). Since they move in the opposite direction to the EOF, μeo ones determined by TEM.…”

“…This was first done by Wiersema et al [151] and further extended to higher value of ζ-potential by O'Brien and White. [152] Few years later, Oshimah presented the following approximate equation, which is valid for 1:1 electrolytes and ζ-potential values ≤ 100 mV [153]; (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) where εr is the relative electric permittivity, ε0 is the electric permittivity of vacuum, , κ is the Debye-Hückel parameter, Rh is the hydrodynamic radius, k is Boltzmann constant, e is the elementary electric charge, T is the absolute temperature, and f 1, f 3, and f 4 are a function of κRh and are given by:…”
