“…Energetic materials (EMs), mainly including explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics are a class of important metastable compounds that involve explosive groups, or oxidants and reducers, that can transiently release considerable energy through their self-redox reactions after sufficient stimulation and have occupied an important place in mining, military equipment, space exploration and fireworks [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Regarding an EM, energy and safety, which significantly depend on the crystal packing, are two of the most important concerns and attract the most attention, as the energy represents their efficiency and the safety guarantees their applicability.…”
