The optimal suspension included ethanol, acetyl-acetone, and the additives of fluorotriphenylsilane and perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. The microstructure, wettability, and exothermic performance were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microcopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), water contact angle measurements, and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The water contact angle and the heat-release of the target composites could reach to ~170\u00b0 and 2.67 kJ\/g, and could still keep stable, after exposure for six months, showing a great stability. These results provided an exquisite synthesis of ideas, for designing other superhydrophobic energetic materials with self-cleaning properties, for real industrial application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma12020234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,11]],"date-time":"2019-01-11T11:36:42Z","timestamp":1547206602000},"page":"234","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Super-Efficient Synthesis of Mesh-like Superhydrophobic Nano-Aluminum\/Iron (III) Oxide Energetic Films"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xiaogang","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Key Laboratory of Inorganic Special Functional Materials, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Yangtze Normal University, Chongqing 408100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taotao","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Materials and Energy, Southwest University, Chongqing 400715, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"374","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aah3840","article-title":"Synthesis and characterization of the pentazolate anion cyclo-N5- in (N5)6(H3O)3(NH4)4Cl","volume":"355","author":"Zhang","year":"2017","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1038\/nature23662","article-title":"A series of energetic metal pentazolate hydrates","volume":"549","author":"Xu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2774","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.201200238","article-title":"High-efficiency inverted polymer solar cells with transparent and work-function tunable MoO3-Al composite film as cathode buffer layer","volume":"24","author":"Liu","year":"2012","journal-title":"Adv.
