Super‐reactive Nanoenergetic Gas Generators Based on Periodate Salts

Nanoenergetic formulations under flash heating: Periodate salt nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile aerosol spray drying process and demonstrate highly reactive properties as oxidizers in an aluminum-based nanoenergetic formulation. Direct evidence supports that gas phase oxygen release from the oxidizer decomposition is critical in the ignition and combustion of these formulations.
