With the advent of micro- and nano-scale devices, the energy management at molecular level is vital for performance enhancement. The field of nano-energetics focuses on the study of synthesis and fabrication of energetic materials or composites at nano-level. The nano-energetic materials may include almost all materials associated with the generation and storage of energy in all forms, viz., thermal, electrical, chemical, etc. The advantages of nano-scale are many which include characteristics like overall small particle size, large specific surface area, high surface energy and strong surface activity, and all these properties associated with the nano-scale provide a key to obtain an overall high energy turnover from such materials and composites and provide solutions to some very pressing current technology needs. The primary requirement of nano-energetic materials is to obtain an efficient energy …
