Abstract
A method of synthesis of energetic particles, and associated systems, the method including providing a metal powder, dispersing the metal powder in a first fluid to form a first suspension, contacting the first suspension with an oxide precursor, aqueous ammonium hydroxide and a second fluid, to produce a first product, collecting product solids and inductively heating product solids to produce energetic core-shell particles.
Claims28
A system for the synthesis of energetic core-shell particles, the system comprising:
- a chamber for conducting particle synthesis reactions;
- an oxide source coupled to the chamber, for supplying the chamber with an oxide precursor;
- a metal source coupled to the chamber, for supplying the chamber with a metal;
- a nozzle, coupled to the chamber, for outputting synthesized energetic core-shell particles from the chamber;
- and
- an inductive heating source, coupled to the chamber, for inductively heating chamber contents to synthesize energetic core-shell particles.
