Preparation and Characterization of Nanoenergetic Materials Based on KNO_3-Filled Carbon Nanotubes

摘要

A novel nanoenergetic material was prepared by filling KNO_3 in the CNTs through a wet chemical method. The samples were characterized by TEM, XRD, and TG/DSC. The results show that KNO_3 with a mean diameter of ～9 nm were homogeneously filled into CNTs to form KNO_3@CNTs nEMs. The TG/DSC curves indicate that the reaction enthalpy (ΔH) of KNO_3@CNTs nEMs was 876.1 J/g and the characteristic temperature of the exothermic peak was 386.8°C.
