Abstract

The application of nano-catalytic materials in molecular perovskite energetic materials is of great significance to promote the development of molecular perovskite energetic materials in explosive formulations and propellants. In this paper, the thermal catalytic effects of CoFe-layered double hydroxide derivative on the molecular perovskite energetic material (DAP-4) were studied. In this study, we successfully prepared a new type of CoFe-based photothermal agent (CoFe-500) by heating CoFe layered double hydroxide nanosheets in an Ar atmosphere at 500 °C. And the micromorphology, structure composition, thermal decomposition performances of CoFe-500 and DAP-4/CoFe-500 composite were characterized. The experimental results showed that with the addition of CoFe-500, the initial decomposition temperature and peak exothermic temperature of DAP-4 showed a decreasing trend. With 10 wt% CoFe-500 added, the initial decomposition temperature and peak exothermic temperature of DAP-4 decreased from 305.6 °C to 166.3 °C and 379.0 °C–322.5 °C, respectively (10 °C/min heating rate). The apparent activation energy (Ea) of pure DAP-4 is 172.27 kJ/mol and 175.13 kJ/mol calculated by the Kissinger and Ozawa method, respectively. And with 10 wt% CoFe-500 added, the Ea is reduced to 119.11 kJ/mol and 122.84 kJ/mol, respectively. The possible thermal catalytic decomposition mechanism of DAP-4/CoFe-500 composites was proposed from the thermal analysis and mass spectrometry test results. This work is meaningful to further understand the decomposition performances of DAP-4 in the presence of nano-layered double hydroxide.
