THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF AMMONIUM PERCHLORATE ACTIVATED VIA ADDITION OF NiO NANOCRYSTALS

TLDR
In this paper, the catalytic activities of NiO nanocrystals on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) coupled with differential thermal analysis (DTA).
Abstract
This work reported on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate activated by addition of NiO nanocrystals with different surface areas. NiO samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transition electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) technique, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy. With increasing annealing temperature, the surface areas of NiO samples reduced from 108.6 to 0.9 m2 g−1. The catalytic activities of NiO nanocrystals on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) coupled with differential thermal analysis (DTA). With addition of NiO nanocrystals, thermal decomposition temperature of AP decreased greatly. Larger surface areas of NiO nanocrystals promoted the thermal decomposition of AP.

Electronic sensitization of the response to C2H5OH of p-type NiO nanofibers by Fe doping

TL;DR: The enhanced gas response of Fe-doped NiO nanofibers was explained in relation to electronic sensitization, that is, the increase in the chemoresistive variation due to the decrease in the hole concentration induced by Fe doping.
