Stability Assessment of Ultrasound-Assisted Dispersion of Boron as a High-Energy-Density Particle in Hydrocarbon Fuel: A Response Surface Methodology Approach

“…Boron is a high-density material that has gained significant attention from the scientific research community for its ability to enhance high thermal energy storage capabilities for aerospace applications. 1,2 At the nanoscale, these boron materials have the advantage of being useful as nanofillers for enhancing fuel-burning characteristics in aircraft to increase thrust and reduce specific fuel consumption. Although there is decent research in multiple directions to reduce the impact of carbon emissions by the aviation sector, these studies are limited to the laboratory.…”

“…Boron is a high-density material that has gained significant attention from the scientific research community for its ability to enhance high thermal energy storage capabilities for aerospace applications. , At the nanoscale, these boron materials have the advantage of being useful as nanofillers for enhancing fuel-burning characteristics in aircraft to increase thrust and reduce specific fuel consumption. Although there is decent research in multiple directions to reduce the impact of carbon emissions by the aviation sector, these studies are limited to the laboratory. , However, currently, one such solution that has received significant attention is to introduce high-energy-density microparticles that can reduce the consumption of hydrocarbon fuel to a considerable extent. , Because of their small atomic radius and high electronegativity, these materials tend to exhibit instability, which is useful for aircraft fuels; however, their use is limited to only hydrocarbons.…”

Enhancing the Catalytic Activity of Mo(110) Surface via Its Alloying with Submonolayer to Multilayer Boron Films and Oxidation of the Alloy: A Case of (CO + O2) to CO2 Conversion

“…For a long time, boron-doped materials have attracted much attention in finding wide application in different fields of science and technology, such as material science, mechanical engineering, electronics, optics and others [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Quite recently, a new applied relevance was found as efficient materials for heterogeneous catalysis, often viewed as substitutes to precious metal-containing catalysts [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”
