Abstract

Combined with the oxidizer anions and fuel cations, molecular perovskite energetic materials show a good potential. In this work, the combustion behavior and mechanism of metal fuel aluminium (Al) with molecular perovskite energetic material (H2dabco)[NH4(ClO4)3] (DAP-4) as a high-energy oxidant was investigated. The DAP-4 based composites with metal fuel Al were designed and fabricated by the different mass ratios. Results showed that DAP-4 exhibits a good oxygen-supplied capacity for enhancing the combustion performance of Al. The maximum combustion heat of DAP-4/Al-3 at the Al/O mass ratio of 38:62 is up to 10,412 J/g in the inert gas, which is higher than those of other ratios and the mixtures of other energetic materials and Al. The evolution of pressure output, pressurization rate, and flame temperature was monitored for DAP-4/Al with different mass ratios. Composites DAP-4/Al/F were characterized by burning rates. The combustion reaction mechanism of metal fuel Al with DAP-4 as a high-energy oxidant was provided. DAP-4 was ignited firstly and released acid and oxidizing gases, which corroded Al2O3 shells on Al particle surfaces and accelerated the combustion reaction with Al to release a lot of energy. This work offered a new idea that molecular perovskite energetic materials have great potential in the high-energy Al-based solid rocket propellants.
