nanoparticles content according to previously published results when using a different type of light source (i.e., pulsed vs CWXelightsource). Furthermore, less light power is required to trigger photo-ignition when moving towards the ultraviolet (UV) region. This is in agreement with the measured absorption
itself in its excited form and is thus capable of promoting electron transfer to MWCNTs. In this way, the resulting radical species, FeCp2+∙ and MWCNT−, easily react with oxygen giving rise to the ignition of MWCNT/ferrocene samples.

-ignition phenomenon of the MWCNT/ferrocene mixture by using CWXelightsource in order to better clarify the photo-induced ignition from a chemico-physical point of view; and (ii) to evaluate the power/energy ignition thresholds by using a different type of light source compared to that used in the
