Abstract

Fe powders as the heat pellet material for thermal batteries are prepared from iron oxide powders obtained by spray pyrolysis from a spray solution of iron nitrate with ethylene glycol. The iron oxide powders with hollow and thin wall structure produce Fe powders with elongated structure and fine primary particle size at a low reducing temperature of 615 °C. The mean size of the primary Fe powders with elongated structure decreases with increasing concentration of ethylene glycol dissolved into the spray solution. The heat pellets prepared from the fine-size Fe powders with elongated structure have good ignition sensitivities below 1 watt. The heat pellets formed from the Fe powders obtained from the spray solution with 0.5 M EG have an extremely high burn rate of 26 cms-1.
