A graphene oxide–MgWO₄ nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst for the thermal decomposition of RDX, HMX

Abstract

A GO–MgWO4 nanocomposite was prepared by a facile chemical method and characterized by XRD, IR, SEM, TEM, EDS and XPS.

Catalytic Activity of Ferrates (NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4 and CoFe2O4) on the Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

“…Besides, bimetallic oxide usually owns better catalytic activity for thermal decomposition of oxidants [19][20][21]. Several kinds of bimetallic iron oxides have been fabricated and used for thermal decomposition of AP [22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Recent advances on graphene microstructure engineering for propellant‐related applications

“…Ex situ synthesis, a method that mainly attaches preprepared nanoparticles to the surface of graphene via electrostatic force, van der Waals force, or molecular polarity includes solution blending method and selfassembly method. [74][75][76] Zu et al 75 successfully attached MgWO 4 to the surface of GO sheets and prepared the F I G U R E 4 (a) Schematic diagram of the mechanism of electrochemical synthesis.

Template-free hydrothermal synthesis of MgWO4 nanoplates and their application as photocatalysts

“…16 The XPS results provide evidence of the existence of Mg 2+ and W 6+ on the surface of MgWO 4 nanoplates. 1,2,17 Formation process…”

“…Magnesium tungstate (MgWO 4 ), known as a semiconductor with a wide band gap, has been extensively studied in various applications including luminescence, dielectric ceramics, catalysis, solid state lasers and so on. [1][2][3][4] MgWO 4 is currently of interest in the abovementioned elds due to the advantageous combination of light (Mg and O) and heavy (W) elements in its composition and the corresponding special structures. 5 As reported in previous studies, the optical band gap of MgWO 4 is about 4 eV with UV response.…”
