Abstract
In this paper, several binary and ternary metastable intermixed nanocomposites Al/CuO, Al/PVDF, CuO/PVDF, and Al/CuO/PVDF have been prepared by simple mechanical mixing and ball milling followed by spray drying methods. In this way, the interfacial structure could be well tuned and compared in terms of reactivity. The nonisothermal DSC curves results showed that the exothermic reaction of Al/CuO/PVDF could be divided into three steps. In addition, it has been shown that for the same formulation, the reaction efficiency, pressurization capacity, and thermal reactivity are greatly dependent on the interfacial structure. As a typical example, composite Al@PVDF/CuO, where Al is fully covered with PVDF, exhibited a higher energy release of 10.7 kJ·cm-3 and pressurization rates of 22.79 MPa·s-1·g-1. The reaction between Al and PVDF has been facilitated in both extent of reaction and efficiency due to their intimate contact. Based on the thermal analysis, condensed combustion product analysis, and gaseous phase identification, the mutual reaction mechanisms of Al/CuO/PVDF have been proposed. The most likely reactions that occurred at each stage of the reaction are summarized, providing insight into the complicated underlying mechanisms. It shows that the regulation of energy release rates and improved efficiency could be easily realized by predesigned interfacial structures.

Abstract
Constructing ingenious microstructures, such as core-shell, laminate, microcapsule and porous microstructures, is an efficient strategy for tuning the combustion behaviors and thermal stability of energetic materials (EMs). Electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), which includes electrospray and electrospinning, is a facile and versatile technique that can be used to process bulk materials into particles, fibers, films and three-dimensional (3D) structures with nanoscale feature sizes. However, the application of EHDA in preparing EMs is still in its initial development. This review summarizes the progress of research on EMs prepared by EHDA over the last decade. The morphology and internal structure of the produced materials can be easily altered by varying the operation and precursor parameters. The prepared EMs composed of zero-dimensional (0D) particles, one-dimensional (1D) fibers and two-dimensional (2D) films possess precise microstructures with large surface areas, uniformly dispersed components and narrow size distributions and show superior energy release rates and combustion performances. We also explore the reasons why the fabrication of 3D EM structures by EHDA is still lacking. Finally, we discuss development challenges that impede this field from moving out of the laboratory and into practical application.

Abstract
Energetic coatings have attracted a great deal of interest with respect to their compatibility and high energy and power density. However, their preparation by effective and inexpensive methods remains a challenge. In this work, electrophoretic deposition was investigated for the deposition of an Al/CuO thermite coating as a typical facile effective and controllable method. Given the poor adhesion of the deposited film and the native inert Al2O3 shell on Al limiting energy output, further treatment was conducted by soaking in a Nafion solution, which not only acted as a fluoropolymer binder but also introduced a strong F oxidizer. It is interesting to note that the adhesion level of Al/CuO films was improved greatly from 1B to 4B, which was attributed to Nafion organic network film formation, like a fishing net covering the loose particles in the film. Combustion and energy release were analyzed using a high-speed camera and a differential scanning calorimeter. A combustion rate of ≤3.3 m/s and a heat release of 2429 J/g for Al/NFs/CuO are far superior to those of pristine Al/CuO (1.3 m/s and 841 J/g, respectively). The results show that the excellent combustion and heat release properties of the energetic film system are facilitated by the good combustion-supporting properties of organic molecules and the increase in the film density after organic treatment. The prepared Al/NFs/CuO film was also employed as ignition material to fire B-KNO3 explosive successfully. This study provides a new way to prepare organic-inorganic hybrid energetic films, simultaneously altering the energy release and enhancing the adhesive force. In addition, the Al/NFs/CuO coating also showed considerable potential as an ignition material in microignitors.

Abstract
Constructing hybrid energetic materials (HEMs) consisting of nanothermites and organic high explosives is an efficient strategy to regulate the reactivity of energetic composites. To investigate the role of interfacial microstructures in determining the reactivity of HEMs, we employ electrospray, one ramification of electrohydrodynamic atomization, to assemble Al/CuO and hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) into composites with various morphologies from different solvent systems. The morphology and compositional information of the assembled clay-like or granular HEMs, which are obtained from ketone, ester, or mixtures of alcohol and ether, are confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The phase transition of CL-20 due to the fast evaporation of charged droplets and insufficient time for recrystallization is studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) is applied to investigate the thermodynamic behaviors and synergistic effect of the nanothermite and high explosive. Enhancements in combustion performance and pressurization characteristics of the as-sprayed HEMs have been observed through open burn tests and pressure cell tests. Granular HEMs show high gas generation and high pressurization rate, while nitrocellulose (NC) fibers existing in the clay-like HEMs would weaken the reactivity to a certain extent. HEMs obtained from the mixture of n-propanol and diethyl ether, in which nano-CL-20 exists as independent particles rather than a matrix, exhibit high gas generation but low pressurization rate. The results indicate that the energy releasing performance of the prepared HEMs can be readily regulated by constructing various interfacial microstructures to satisfy the broad requirements of energy sources.

Abstract
High-speed air-breathing propulsion systems, such as solid fuel ramjets (SFRJ), are important for space exploration and national security. The development of SFRJ requires high-performance solid fuels with excellent mechanical and combustion properties. One of the current solid fuel candidates is composed of high-energy particles (e.g., boron (B)) and polymeric binder (e.g., hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)). However, the opposite polarities of the boron surface and HTPB lead to poor B particle dispersion and distribution within HTPB. Herein, we demonstrate that the surface functionalization of B particles with nonpolar oleoyl chloride greatly improves the dispersion and distribution of B particles within HTPB. The improved particle dispersion is quantitatively visualized through X-ray computed tomography imaging, and the particle/matrix interaction is evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis. The surface-functionalized B particles can be uniformly dispersed up to 40 wt % in HTPB, the highest mass loading reported to date. The surface-functionalized B (40 wt %)/HTPB composite exhibits a 63.3% higher Young's modulus, 87.5% higher tensile strength, 16.2% higher toughness, and 16.8% higher heat of combustion than pristine B (40 wt %)/HTPB. The surface functionalization of B particles provides an effective strategy for improving the efficacy and safety of B/HTPB solid fuels for future high-speed air-breathing vehicles.

Abstract
Surface oxide (Al2O3) of reactive fine aluminum (Al) particles for solid fuels, propellants, and brazing materials often restricted oxidative performance, though the passivation film acts to protect Al particles from exploding. Here, we report fine Al particles fully covered with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer instead of an Al2O3 film on the surface. This advance is based on the introduction of strong Al–F bonds, known to be an alternative to the Al–O bonds of surface oxides. The DSC results on the PTFE-coated Al particles exhibit higher reactive-exothermic enthalpy energy (12.26 kJ g−1) than 4.85 kJ g−1 by uncoated Al particles. The artificial aging test of the PTFE layer on the Al particles show long-time stability to the external circumstance compared to those by Al2O3. The activation energy for oxidation was investigated from cyclic voltammetry assessment and the measured peak potentials of the anode curve for PTFE/Al (− 0.45 V) and uncoated Al (− 0.39 V) are achieved, respectively. This means that the PTFE layer is more stable against a sudden explosion of Al particles compared to Al2O3. These results are very useful given its capability to control both the reactivity and stability levels during the oxidation of Al particles for practical applications.

Abstract
Integrating energetic materials with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) to achieve miniaturized integrated smart energetic microchips is promising. The potential applications include actuation in lab-on-a-chip devices, ignition in automobile airbags, propulsion and attitude control of micro-/nano-satellites, and miniaturized electro-explosive devices. In this work, a new type of MEMS-compatible energetic arrays was in situ realized on a copper substrate, which comprised a new energetic coordination polymer (ECP; Cu1.5C2N8O2·H2O) with tunable nanostructures and a nano-aluminum (nano-Al) covering layer. The composition, morphology, and energetic characteristics of the energetic arrays can be easily tuned by adjusting the reaction time. The maximum heat release of 1850.2 J/g in thermal analysis and the intense flame in open burning experiment proved its excellent exothermic and combustion performance. A closed-bomb experiment further revealed that the ECP@nano-Al energetic arrays supported on Cu(OH)2 nanorods had a peak pressure (5.5 MPa) and a pressure duration (0.5 s) more than twice those of nanoscale Al/CuO powder because of the introduction of gas elements (e.g., C, H, and N). A preliminary impulse experiment was also conducted through the torsion pendulum method. The displacement of the torsion pendulum in the micrometer scale proved the potential application of the energetic arrays in micropropulsion systems. Overall, this work can serve as a reference for the synthesis and applications of ECPs.

Abstract
Energetic materials, including explosives, pyrotechnics, and propellants, are widely used in mining, demolition, automobile airbags, fireworks, ordnance, and space technology. Nanoenergetic materials (nEMs) have a high reaction rate and high energy density, which are both adjustable to a large extent. Structural control over nEMs to achieve improved performance and multifunctionality leads to a fascinating research area, namely, nanostructured energetic materials. Among them, core-shell structured nEMs have gained considerable attention due to their improved material properties and combined multiple functionalities. Various nEMs with core-shell structures have been developed through diverse synthesis routes, among which core-shell structured nEMs associated with explosives and metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) are extensively studied due to their good tunability and wide applications, as well as excellent energetic (e.g., enhanced heat release and combustion) and/or mechanical properties. Herein, the preparation methods and fundamental properties of the abovementioned kinds of core-shell structured nEMs are summarized and the reasons behind the satisfactory performance clarified, based on which suggestions regarding possible future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
Photoactive coatings of sol-gel ZnO suspensions were electrosprayed on glass substrates to produce self-cleaning antimicrobial functionalized surfaces. ZnO-functionalized materials exhibited a uniform external surface consisting of a pattern of microspheres with diameters in the 100-300 nm range. Electrospray allowed surface densities up to 0.30 mg cm-2 that displayed considerable hydrophilicity. Water contact angle decreased with UV irradiation to values below 10°. Two different UV doses were tested by adjusting the irradiation time to simulate Summer-Spring and Winter-Fall conditions. The functionalized coatings showed excellent photocatalytic properties towards the photodegradation of Methylene blue. The electrosprayed surfaces also displayed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with >99.5% reduction in the number of culturable cells. The biocidal activity is attributed to the photogenerated reactive oxygen species on the surface of ZnO coatings and the bioavailable zinc ions produced from ZnO dissolution. The photoactive coatings kept surfaces free from bacterial colonization and biofilm formation.

Abstract
Aluminum powders are known to provide outstanding volumetric exothermic enthalpy energy during thermal oxidation. However, the amount of energy released tends to be limited by the dense surface oxide (Al2O3) layer of the powder. Hence, a prerequisite for improving the reactivity of passivated Al particles is to remove the Al2O3 film from the surface. Considering that the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction of Ni and Al can generate additional exothermic heat in Al powder, Ni can be considered as a promising alternative to the surface oxide layer. Here, we report oxide-layer-free fine Al particles with a characteristic Ni/Al interface, where a Ni layer replaces the Al2O3 film. The microstructure of the synthesized powder consists of a 200-nm-thick Ni layer homogeneously coated on the Al surface, which has nanosized craters caused by the geometrical removal of Al2O3. Thermal analysis and in-situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results clearly show that active interdiffusion of atoms through the Ni/Al interface results in the formation of intermetallic compounds to provide additional exothermic energy, compared to the result for simply mixing Ni and Al powders. Hence, these findings provide new routes for the design and application of reactive metallic particles using the SHS reaction.

Abstract
Growth in nanocoatings technology is moving towards implementing nanocoatings in many sectors of the industry due to their excellent abilities. Nanocoatings offer numerous advantages, including surface hardness, adhesive strength, long-term and/or high-temperature corrosion resistance, the enhancement of tribological properties, etc. In addition, nanocoatings can be applied in thinner and smoother thickness, which allows flexibility in equipment design, improved efficiency, lower fuel economy, lower carbon footprints, and lower maintenance and operating costs. Nanocoatings are utilised efficiently to reduce the effect of a corrosive environment. A nanocoating is a coating that either has constituents in the nanoscale, or is composed of layers that are less than 100 nm. The fine sizes of nanomaterials and the high density of their ground boundaries enable good adhesion and an excellent physical coverage of the coated surface. Yet, such fine properties might form active sites for corrosion attack. This paper reviews the corrosion behaviour of metallic, ceramic, and nanocomposite coatings on the surface of metallic substrates. It summarises the factors affecting the corrosion of these substrates, as well as the conditions where such coatings provided required protection.

Abstract
Energetic films were synthesized using stress altered nano-aluminum particles (nAl). The nAl powder was pre-stressed to examine how modified mechanical properties of the fuel particles influenced film reactivity. Pre-stressing conditions varied by quenching rate. Slow and rapid quenching rates induced elevated dilatational strain within the nAl particles that was measured using synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). An analytical model for stress and strain in a nAl core–Al2O3 shell particle that includes creep in the shell and delamination at the core–shell boundary, was developed and used for interpretation of strain measurements. Results show rapid quenching induced 81% delamination at the particle core–shell interface also observed with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Slower quenching elevated dilatational strain without delamination. All films were prepared at approximately a 75 : 25 Al : poly(vinylidene fluoride) PVDF weight ratio and were 1 mm thick. A drop weight impact test was performed to assess ignition sensitivity and combustion. Stress altered nAl exhibited greater energy release rates and more complete combustion than untreated nAl, but reaction dynamics and kinetics proceeded in two different ways depending on the nAl quenching rate during pre-stressing. Energetic films were synthesized using stress altered nano-aluminum particles (nAl).![]()

Abstract
Highly reactive metastable intermixed composites (MICs) have attracted much attention in the past decades. The MIC family of materials mainly includes traditional metal-based nanothermites, novel core-shell-structured, 3D ordered macroporous-structured, and ternary nanocomposites. By applying special fabrication approaches, highly reactive MICs with uniformly dispersed reactants, "layer-by-layer" or "core-shell" structures, can be prepared. Thus, the combustion performance can be greatly improved, and the ignition characteristics and safety can be precisely controlled by using a certain preparation strategy. Here, the preparation and characterization of the MICs that have been developed during the past few decades are summarized. Traditional preparation methods for MICs generally include physical mixing, high-energy ball milling, sol-gel synthesis, and vapor deposition, while the novel methods include self-assembly, electrophoretic deposition, and electrospinning. Various preparation procedures and the ignition and combustion performance of different MIC reactive systems are compared and discussed. In particular, the advantages of novel structured MICs in terms of safety and combustion efficiency are clarified, based on which suggestions regarding the possible future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
Integrating energetic materials on a chip has received great attention for its widely potential applications in the microscale energy consumption system, including electric initiation device. In this article, reactive Al/PTFE nanolaminates with periodic layer structure are prepared by magnetron sputtering, which consists of fuel Al, oxidant PTFE, and inert layer Al-F compound in a metastable system. The as-deposited Al/PTFE nanolaminates exhibit a significantly high energy output, and the onset temperature and the heat of reaction are 410 °C and 3034 J/g, respectively. Based on these properties, an integrated film bridge is designed and fabricated via integrating Al/PTFE nanolaminates with a Cu exploding foil, which exhibits enhanced energetic performances with more violent explosion phenomenon, larger quantities of ejected product, and higher plasma temperature in comparison with the Cu film bridge. The kinetic energy of flyers derived from the expansion of the Cu film bridge is also increased around 29.9% via integration with the Al/PTFE nanolaminates. Overall, the energetic performances can be improved substantially through a combination of the chemical reaction of Al/PTFE nanolaminates with the electric explosion of the Cu film bridge.

Abstract
Our previous work demonstrated the uniform particle pattern formation on the substrates using electrical field guided electrospray deposition. In this work, we reported for the first time the fabrication of gradient particle patterns on glass slides using an additional point, line, or bar electrode based on our previous electrospray deposition configuration. We also demonstrated that the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating could result in the formation of uniform particle patterns instead of gradient particle patterns on glass slides using the same experimental setup. Meanwhile, we investigated the effect of experimental configurations on the gradient particle pattern formation by computational simulation. The simulation results are in line with experimental observations. The formation of gradient particle patterns was ascribed to the gradient of electric field and the corresponding focusing effect. Cell patterns can be formed on the particle patterns deposited on PDMS-coated glass slides. The formed particle patterns hold great promise for high-throughput screening of biomaterial-cell interactions and sensing.

Abstract
We report an aerosol-based approach to study the thermal stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas-phase synthesis of MOF-based hybrid nanostructures used for highly active catalysis. Temperature-programmed electrospray-differential mobility analysis (TP-ES-DMA) provides the characterization of temperature-dependent morphological change directly in the gas phase, and the results are shown to be highly correlated with the structural thermal stability of MOFs determined by the traditional measurements of porosity and crystallinity. The results show that MOFs underwent thermal decomposition via simultaneous disassembly and deaggregation. Trimeric Cr-based MIL-88B-NH2 exhibited a higher temperature of decomposition ( Td), 350 °C, than trimeric Fe-based MIL-88B-NH2, 250 °C. For UiO-66, a significant decrease of Td by ≈100 °C was observed by using amine-functionalized ligands in the MOF structure. Copper oxide nanocrystals were successfully encapsulated in the UiO-66 crystal (Cu xO@UiO-66) by using a gas-phase evaporation-induced self-assembly approach followed by a suitable thermal treatment below Td (i.e., determined by TP-ES-DMA). Cu xO@UiO-66 demonstrated a very high catalytic activity and stability to CO oxidation, showing at least a 3-time increase in CO conversion compared to the bare CuO nanoparticle samples. The study demonstrates a prototype methodology (1) to determine structural thermal stability of MOFs using a gas-phase electrophoretic method (TP-ES-DMA) and (2) to gas-phase synthesize CuO nanocrystals encapsulated in MOFs.

Abstract
Surface-mediated Al particles are synthesized by incorporating the stable fluoride reaction of Al-F on a pure Al surface in place of natural oxides. Al particles with fluoro-polymer directly adsorbed on the surface show a considerable capability to overcome limitations caused by the surface oxide. Here, we report that Al fluoride when spontaneously formed at the poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Al interface serves as an oxidation-protecting layer while also providing an efficient combustion path along which the internal Al rapidly reacts with external oxygen atoms. Both thermal oxidation and explosion tests of the poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Al particles show superior exothermic enthalpy energy and simultaneously rapid oxidation reactivity compared to those of Al2O3 passivated Al particles. It is clearly elucidated that the enhanced energetic properties of Al particles mediated by poly(vinylidene fluoride) originate from the extraordinary pyrolytic process of Al fluoride occurring at a low temperature compared to Al2O3 passivated Al. Hence, these results clarify that the surface mediation of Al particles can be significantly considered as advanced technology for many energetic applications.
