Abstract
Boron (B) powder has been considered a promising high-energy material due to its high calorific value. Nevertheless, the low combustion efficiency and the difficulty in ignition restrict its application. To solve the problems, in this study, an energetic metal-organic framework (EMOF) was used as a modifier for the nano-sized B powder, and its effect on the ignition and burning performance of B powder was examined. EMOF can significantly increase the heat release of B powder and lower its initial oxidation temperature. The best improvement is achieved with 10% EMOF contents in air, while the highest heat release is obtained with 25% EMOF contents in pure oxygen. Furthermore, EMOF can also reduce the ignition delay of B powder, enhance the flame intensity, and increase the flame propagation rate. This study offers new perspectives on modifying B powder with incorporating EMOF to develop multifunctional energetic particles with improved ignition and combustion characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
