“…As an excellent propellant, ANs show advantages in combustion applications such as high heat, fast energy releasing rate, burning completeness without cluster aggregation in combustion [1,2]. Nowadays, there are various methods to prepare ANs materials mainly including: wire electrical explosive process [3,4], vacuum spray technique [5,6], ball milling [7,8], plasma evaporation [9], inhomogeneous tensile deformation [10,11], and flow-levitation method [12]. Since ANs have a large active surface area and high surface energy, they can be easily oxidized and deactivated in the air, thus, limiting their practical use in propellants.…”
