Study on the catalytic performance of a new double-shell composite energetic material

Abstract

To improve the pyrolysis of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the effects of P-N junction metal oxides with different coating sequences on thermal decomposition were compared. AP / ZnO / ZnCo2O4 double-shell composite energetic materials and AP / ZnCo2O4 / ZnO double-shell composite energetic materials were manufactured by the liquid phase deposition method. XRD, FT-IR, and TEM characterize the structure of samples. The self-catalytic properties of double-shell composite energetic materials were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA). XRD, FT-IR, and TEM results show the formation of a P-N junction. The double-shell composite energetic material was successfully prepared and had a good coating effect. DTA results show the Pyrolytic peak of AP / ZnO / ZnCo2O4 double-shell composite energetic materials has been drowned to 262.85 °C. The decomposition peak of AP / ZnCo2O4 / ZnO double-shell composite energetic material is 272.31 °C, and the difference between the two is obvious. The coating of N-type metal semiconductor material can greatly improve the autocatalytic performance of the material, giving a new idea for designing AP catalysts.
