Aluminum nanoparticles (ANPs) are an effective and economical additive in various energy
conversion applications. In the present work, ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations are …

Aluminium nano-powder has a small particle size, large specific surface area, and high
surface energy, therefore when using it, the risk of fires or explosions is high. In this study …

Bimetallic materials—well-known for their strong reducing properties—are promising tools to
recover battery/critical elements from waste streams for resources conservation and …

Nanodiamond (ND) has been recently considered to be an excellent reinforcement for
strengthening metal matrix composites. However, most of the previous studies focused on …

Thermochemical properties of aluminum micro-and nanopowders after exposure to
synchrotron radiation with energy in the range 15.5–20.6 keV has been investigated. The …

It is well known that the structural problem between the autothermal operation and the
outside utilization of heat in the catalytic combustion system and the runaway on catalyst …
