Nano-sized Al (nAl) features high reactivity implying possible issues related to its aging during storage. In this work, the aging behavior of micron-sized Al and nAl is investigated considering different relative humidity (RH) conditions (10% and 80%) at the temperature of 333 K.

Abstract

Nano-sized Al (nAl) features high reactivity implying possible issues related to its aging during storage. In this work, the aging behavior of micron-sized Al and nAl is investigated considering different relative humidity (RH) conditions (10% and 80%) at the temperature of 333 K. The marked aging sensitivity of nAl (100 nm) is testified by an almost full metal content (C-Al) loss in nearly 30 hours (RH = 80%). Under the same condition, in 14 days of aging, the C-Al of micron sized aluminum (30 mu m) decreases from (99.1 +/- 0.2)% to (86.8 +/- 0.9)%.
