Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The following examples are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. The examples are not to be construed as limiting the specific techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or as per the specifications of the product. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional products commercially available without the manufacturer's attention.
In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fuel microsphere comprising:
boron particles having a particle diameter of nanometer scale;
and chitosan, wherein the chitosan is coated on the surface of the boron particles.
The nano-scale boron particles in the fuel can exist in the form of microspheres in the storage process by introducing the organic chitosan, 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 boron particles participate in the combustion reaction again in the nano scale in the combustion process, and therefore, 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, and the existence of the chitosan can also effectively prevent the boron particles from reacting with oxygen and water in the air, thereby improving the combustion efficiency and the combustion rate of the boron particles; 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 coordinate with lone pair electrons of nitrogen atoms in chitosan molecules, so that the metal combustion-promoting catalyst is adsorbed on the surface of the chitosan; the metal-promoted catalyst comprises at least one of a metal acetylacetonate, a metal nitrate, and a metal sulfate. Therefore, the adsorption of the chitosan to the metal combustion-promoting catalyst realizes the low load and uniform distribution of the metal combustion-promoting catalyst in the fuel microspheres; in the combustion process, the metal catalyst has an interface catalysis effect on the surface of nB (nano-scale boron particles) and is coupled with a micro-explosion process initiated by chitosan combustion, so that the obtained fuel microsphere further reduces the ignition temperature of the boron particles, solves the problem of agglomeration of the nano-scale boron particles, and further improves the combustion efficiency and the combustion rate of the boron particles.
In some embodiments of the invention, the metal acetylacetonate comprises at least one of molybdenum acetylacetonate, iron acetylacetonate, cobalt acetylacetonate, nickel acetylacetonate, and lead acetylacetonate; the metal nitrate comprises at least one of ferric nitrate, cobalt nitrate, nickel nitrate and lead nitrate; the metal sulfate includes at least one of ferric sulfate, cobalt sulfate, nickel sulfate, and lead sulfate.
In some embodiments of the invention, the mass of the metal-promoted catalyst is 4-10wt% (e.g., may be 4wt%, 5wt%, 6wt%, 7wt%, 8wt%, 9wt%, 10wt%, etc.) of the mass of the boron particles. With respect to the above content range, when the content of the metal-promoting catalyst is too high, the theoretical heat value of the microspheres decreases, and when the content of the metal-promoting catalyst is too low, the promoting effect of the metal-promoting catalyst decreases.
In some embodiments of the invention, the chitosan is present in an amount of 5-50wt% (e.g., may be 5wt%, 10wt%, 15wt%, 20wt%, 25wt%, 30wt%, 35wt%, 40wt%, 45wt%, 50wt%, etc.), based on the total mass of the fuel microsphere. When the content of chitosan is too low, relative to the above content range, no fuel microspheres can be formed; when the chitosan content is too high, both the theoretical heat value and the combustion heat value of the fuel microspheres are reduced.
The term "microsphere" as used herein refers to a sphere having a particle diameter of micrometer scale, and has uniformity of size and a coefficient of variation of less than 5%. In some embodiments of the invention, the fuel microspheres have a diameter of 10-40 μm.

The inventor of the invention discovers that the introduction of the metal combustion promoting catalyst can effectively reduce the ignition temperature of boron particles and improve the combustion rate and the combustion efficiency of the boron particles, however, the existing metal combustion promoting catalyst adding method mostly adopts a mechanical mixing method, the method is simple to operate, but the metal combustion promoting catalyst is difficult to uniformly distribute in the boron particles, meanwhile, the contact area between the metal combustion promoting catalyst and the boron particles is reduced due to the larger metal combustion promoting catalyst particles, so that the combustion rate promoting efficiency is low, the ignition temperature cannot be effectively reduced, and a large amount of metal combustion promoting catalyst is needed to be added to solve the problems, thereby reducing the energy density of fuel. According to the invention, a liquid drop microfluidic technology is adopted to introduce the metal combustion-promoting catalyst into the fuel microsphere, and the low-load and uniform distribution of the metal combustion-promoting catalyst in the fuel microsphere is realized through the adsorption of chitosan to the metal combustion-promoting catalyst.
