In order to improve the ignition ability of reactive film, in this paper, the effects of copper oxide and silicon nitride on the flame height of the TaN@(Al/Ni) energy exchanger were investigated by using a high-speed photographic system. The insulating layer material was applied to the preparation TaN@(Al/Ni) by the MEMS process. The experimental results showed that the flame height of (Al/Ni)–TaN energy exchanger was obviously higher than that of silicon nitride when copper oxide was used as the insulation layer, which indicates that the oxygen-containing insulation layer could increase the flame height of the energy exchanger.
