Abstract

Nitrogen-rich compounds are a kind of new type of energetic material and have good application prospects. They generally have high densities, high positive heats of formation, good thermal stability, and a series of excellent properties. Nitro-rich energetic salts in which cations and anions contain tetrazole rings possess more N-N and C-N bonds. These can help the salts achieve better performance. Their distinct advantages make them attractive for applications in gas generators and high-energy-density materials and as propellant additives.
