Synthesis of trifluoroacetic acid encapsulated aluminium nanoparticles and reactivity characterisation via Al/CuO nanothermites
Ying-Shuo Cheng, Chao-Wei Huang, Ming-Hsun Wu, Wan-Lien HsuThis paper reports on the synthesis of aluminium nanoparticles (Al NPs) encapsulated with a trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) protective layer and the characterisation of their reactivity using Al/CuO nanothermite as a test platform.
