The introduction of high-energetic metal nanoparticles into hydrocarbon-based liquid fuel offers advantages such as increased energy density and improved combustion characteristics. However, the inherent tendency of metal nanoparticles to aggregate poses challenges, leading to reduced energy density and dispersion stability in liquid fuel. To address this issue, our study employs silane coatings to the surface of aluminum nanoparticles (ANPs). Silane precursors are generally used for their known ability to inhibit corrosion of metal surface, which is similar to oxidation on metal surfaces. The reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) simulation is conducted to investigate the silane coating process and examine surface characteristics. This presentation will include the evaluation of surface characteristics, contributing to more in-depth understandings of the surface chemistry of the fuel additives.
