Fig. 1: Synthesis and morphological analysis of Al/CuO/V2C.

From: MXene Templated assembly of hierarchical Al/CuO/V2C nanothermite with excellent energy release efficiency and highly tunable performance

Fig. 1

a Schematic illustration for the ordered self-assembly process of the Al/CuO/V2C in lower and higher concentration cases. b The SEM picture of the Al/CuO/V2C sample with 1 wt% V2C content. c–g The TEM picture of CuO/V2C precursor in the Al/CuO/V2C sample with 1 wt% V2C content (c) and elemental mapping corresponding to O (d), V (e), Al (f), Cu (g) of Al/CuO/V2C respectively. h The SEM picture of the Al/CuO/V2C sample with 10 wt% V2C content. i–m The TEM picture of Al/CuO/V2C sample with 10 wt% V2C content (i) and elemental mapping corresponding to O (j), V (k), Al (l), Cu (m) of Al/CuO/V2C. Scale bar: for (c, i), 200 nm; for d–g, j–m, 100 nm. The experiments for (b–m) were repeated three times independently with similar results.
