Fabrication of nanoscale core–shell structured lead azide/porous carbon based on a metal–organic framework with high safety performance

Abstract

Carbon-based lead azide with nano-scale lead azide coated with a carbon shell (LA/C) was prepared using a lead-containing MOF material. The prepared LA/C exhibits excellent electrostatic sensitivity (1.84 J), higher LA content (85%), and better ignition ability (22 cm) compared to other reported modified LA materials.
