Abstract
The impact sensitivity of the energy systems based on nanoporous silicon, obtained by electrochemical etching of monocrystalline silicon wafers in an HF-containing electrolyte, and calcium perchlorate was studied using a modified Weller—Ventselberg technique (estimation of the impact sensitivity of initiating explosives). The impact sensitivity of these systems is shown to be determined by both the presence of hydrogen, which is stored on the porous silicon surface during the preparation of the latter, and also the influence of other factors, including the specific surface of porous silicon. The composition, amount of the generated gas, and gas evolution rate during nonisothermal and isothermal calcination of porous silicon in a temperature range of 60—120 °С were determined using methods of thermal gravimetry (TG), measurement of the gas volume, and mass spectrometry. The generated gas almost completely consists of hydrogen, and its content in the studied samples of porous silicon achieved ~3.8 wt.%. The calculated activation energy of the hydrogen evolution process in vacuo was 103.7±3.3 kJ mol–1. The dependences of the impact sensitivity of the energy composition based on porous silicon and heat of combustion of porous silicon on oxygen on the hydrogen content were established. The impact sensitivity of the energy system decreases with a decrease in the hydrogen content in porous silicon and its specific surface.
