Abstract

In this research, a zinc oxide micro-/nano-structured hollow sphere (MNHS) with a large specific surface area is applied as energy storage material to encapsulate poly(vinyl chloride) solution and control the fuel release. The sustained release effect of MNHS not only makes the motion more controllable, but enhances the motion time and distance.
