Hello, I'm in doubt regarding an article that refers to potassium and sodium preclorate. I know they are two oxidants used mainly to make nano-explosives using porous silicon. There is an excerpt from an article that I did not quite understand what he meant by reference. . '' 'greater heat of reaction' '' ... it does not refer to raising the temperature to do the chemical functions so that it penetrates into the porous silicon would that be?

Heat of reaction is one the basic concepts in chemistry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_enthalpy_of_reaction

While per the forum rules we do allow some discussions of chemistry and science of explosives, you seem to be missing basic knowledge required for such discussion. I am locking the thread.
