The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products commercially available.
In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a fuel microsphere comprising:
boron particles, the particle size of which is nanometer-scale;
chitosan, wherein the chitosan is coated on the surface of the boron particles.
The introduction of the organic chitosan can enable the nano-scale boron particles in the fuel to exist in a microsphere form in the storage process, so that the monodispersion of the fuel microspheres is realized, and the problem of boron particle agglomeration is effectively solved; the chitosan can generate a large amount of gas in the combustion process, so that the boron particles participate in the combustion reaction again in the nano scale in the combustion process, the fuel microspheres not only keep the low ignition temperature of the boron particles, but also prevent the agglomeration of products in the combustion process, the existence of the chitosan can also effectively avoid the reaction of the boron particles and oxygen and water in the air, and the combustion efficiency and the combustion rate of the boron particles are improved; in addition, the fuel microsphere has low ignition temperature, high combustion efficiency and controllable size.
In some embodiments of the invention, the fuel microsphere further comprises: the metal combustion promoting catalyst can generate coordination with lone-pair electrons of nitrogen atoms in chitosan molecules so as to be adsorbed on the surface of the chitosan; the metal combustion promoting catalyst includes at least one of a metal salt of acetylacetone, a metal nitrate, and a metal sulfate. Therefore, the low-loading amount and uniform distribution of the metal combustion-promoting catalyst in the fuel microspheres are realized through the adsorption of chitosan on the metal combustion-promoting catalyst; in the combustion process, the metal catalyst generates interfacial catalysis on the surface of nB (nano-scale boron particles) and is coupled with the micro-explosion process initiated by the combustion of chitosan, so that the obtained fuel microsphere further reduces the ignition temperature of the boron particles, solves the agglomeration problem of the nano-scale boron particles and further improves the combustion efficiency and the combustion rate of the boron particles.
