利用分子动力学模拟方法和反应力场势函数研究了Al/SiO_2层状纳米体系的铝热反应,模拟了在不同初始温度下(600,700,800,900,1000和1100 K)绝热反应的结构变化和能量性质,发现Al/SiO_2体系的铝热反应是自加热的氧化还原反应,当初始温度为900和1000 K时,Al经历了熔化前的一个临界状态,与SiO_2的铝热反应比较活跃,系统温度随着反应时间的增加不断升高,当初始温度为600,700,800和1100 K时,初始温度越高,在Al和SiO_2界面形成的Al-O层越薄,系统发生铝热反应达到的最终绝热温度越高,所用的时间(有效反应时间τ)越短,即界面扩散阻挡层的厚度对铝热反应的自加热速率产生了影响,初始温度为600,700,800,1100K时的自加热速率分别为3.4,3.5,4.7和5.4K/p8.A1/SiO_2体系的铝热反应析出了Si单质,与实验结果相符合。

Molecular dynamics investigation of thermite reaction behavior of nanostructured Al/SiO2 system

In this study we have investigated the thermite reaction of Al/SiO₂ layered structure by classical molecular dynamics simulation in combination with the reactive force field function. Under the adiabatic conditions, we simulate the structural changes and energetic properties of the system at six different initial temperatures (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 and 1100 K). These results show that the thermite reaction of Al/SiO₂ is the self-heating reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction. When the initial temperatures are 900 and 1000 K, the Al layers change into liquid-like structure under melting points. The thermite reaction happens with a much faster rate. At other initial temperatures such as 600, 700, 800 and 1100 K, the thin Al-O layer at the interface is quite weak for the higher initial temperature. The adiabatic reaction temperature increases and the effective reaction time decreases with the increasing of the initial temperature. the reaction self-heating rates are 3.4, 3.5, 4.7 and 5.4 K/ps for the initial temperatures of 600, 700, 800 and 1100 K, respectively. The results reveal that the thermite reaction self-heating rates depend on the thickness of interfacial diffusion barrier in the nanoparticle. In addition, the thermite reaction of the Al/SiO₂ system leaves the Si, which accord well with the experimental result.
