Abstract
The present research aims to prepare transition metallic ferrite CoNiCuFe2O4 (CNCF) nanoparticles and its catalytic effects on thermal decomposition of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one or Nitrotriazolone (NTO) and nano-NTO studied by various physico-chemical characterization tools such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), and thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DSC-DTA). For a comparison purpose, the catalytic activity of NTO + CNCF and nNTO + CNCF mixtures was evaluated using thermal analysis with different heating rates and their kinetics were studied. The obtained results indicated that nNTO + CNCF exhibited lower decomposition temperature than the pure NTO, nNTO, and NTO + CNCF. Moreover, kinetic results show that the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor were considerably lowered in the presence of catalyst. Thus, the synthesized energetic compound and catalyst could be applied for the development of chemical propulsion formulations and their co-crystals.
