Carbon addition lowers initiation and iodine release temperatures from iodine oxide-based biocidal energetic materials

Silver ferrite: a superior oxidizer for thermite-driven biocidal nanoenergetic materials

“…The most widely adopted metal is aluminum due to its abundance and competitive reactivity when compared with other metals. 16 Various oxidizers, such as metal oxides, [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] iodine oxides, [27][28][29][30][31][32] sulfates, 33,34 iodates, 12,35,36 potassium salts, 37,38 and etc., have been employed in formulation of thermites. Among all, halogens-containing and silver-containing oxidizers have drawn attention because of their excellent biocidal properties.…”

“…Among all, halogens-containing and silver-containing oxidizers have drawn attention because of their excellent biocidal properties. [39][40][41][42][43] For halogens, iodine stands out owing to its strong neutralization effect and different iodine-containing oxy-compounds, such as metal iodates and iodine oxides, 5,12,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][35][36][37]44 have been studied in thermite systems.…”

Study of C/Doped δ-Bi2O3 Redox Reactions by in Operando Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction: Bond Energy/Oxygen Vacancy and Reaction Kinetics Relationships

“…CO 2 was reported to be the main product specie of carbon combustion. 33 The release of gaseous products, CO 2 and CO, was in situ analyzed by a residual gas analyzer coupled with SXRD. Figure 4 shows the temporal CO 2 and CO concentrations for C/YSB30 at a heating rate of 50 °C/min along with the temperature profile.…”

The role of alkylamine in the stabilization of CuO nanoparticles as a determinant of the Al/CuO redox reaction

“…A typical commercial CuO background spectrum for the mass spectrometer consists of a large peak at mass to charge ratio (m/z) 18 (H2O), smaller peaks at m/z 28 (N2) and m/z 32 (O2). 30 Detailed mass spectra, included all detected m/z species, during the CuO_air and CuO_O2 ramping are given in supplementary file, Figure S1 and Table S1. For both CuO_air and CuO_O2, the major decomposition products include m/z 18 (H2O) and m/z 44 (CO2).…”
