专家们认为,在不久的将来,金属粉末将成为一种“零碳”燃料,用于汽车发动机等动力装置。美国田纳西州橡树岭国家实验室的研究人员戴夫·比奇正在进行金属燃料的研究。他相信,铁、铝以及硼等物质可以制成燃料。把这些普通金属加工成极细的纳米级颗粒,其性质就会变得非常活跃,点燃它们,能够释放出巨大 Experts believe that in the near future metal powder will become a “zero carbon” fuel for use in power plants such as car engines. Dave Beech, a researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, is working on metal fuels. He believes that iron, aluminum and boron can be made into fuel. The processing of these common metals into extremely fine nanoscale particles can become very energetic in nature, igniting them and releasing huge
