Evaluating the Effect of Nanosized CoCuFe2O4 for Thermal Decomposition of Nitrotriazolone High Energetic Material

Abstract

Wet chemical synthesis was used to produce nanosize Cobalt‐Copper‐Ferrite (CoCuFe2O4 or CCF), which was then analyzed using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Infrared spectroscopy (IR), and Raman spectroscopy. The impact of synthesized CCF on the thermal decomposition of the insensitive high energetic material namely 3‐nitro‐2,4‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one (NTO) at the micron (NTO) and nanoscales (nNTO) was investigated using thermal analysis data acquired at 5, 10, and 15 °C min−1 heating rates. Non‐isothermal approaches such as Kissinger‐Akahira‐Sunose (KAS), Flynn‐Wall‐Ozawa (FWO), and iterative methods were utilized to determine the kinetic parameters of the decomposition process. The findings indicate that CCF can affect both the onset and peak temperature of micro as well as nanosize NTO. The activation energy of nNTO containing 5 % by mass CCF (nNTO:CCF) was much lower than that of pure NTO and the log A value proposed a quicker nNTO :CCF decomposition. nNTO:CCF has the potential to replace NTO in energetic formulations comprising NTO

Effects of Barium‐Copper‐Cobalt oxide composites supported on reduced graphene oxide in the thermolysis of ammonium perchlorate and 3‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one

“…We have achieved a similar activation energy barrier with decomposition at lower DSC peak temperature ( T p =228 °C) using BCC/rGO catalyst. In our previous work, the authors explored the effect of various ferrite‐based catalysts and BaCuO 3 and its composite with rGO for the thermal decomposition of NTO [37,50–52] . NTO shows better thermal performance in the presence of perovskite oxides and their composites than ferrites.…”

“…[1][2][3] It has been shown that the incorporation of nMOs in solid propellants compositions enhances their energetic performances. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been explored as a distinctive and unique monoxide material. [10][11][12][13][14] In fact, CuO NPs are broadly applied in industry as a catalyst, additive for plastics, a gas sensor, a coating for metals, water filtration, and a superconductor.…”

The Effect of Different Morphologies of Polyaniline on Its Catalytic Activity for the Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

“…One of the methods used to improve the decomposition of the oxidizers and AP as well is their modification using catalysts [6] . The most widely used and well‐known catalysts in this field are those based on heavy metals [7] like CuO, [8] Cr 2 O 3 , [8] Fe 2 O 3 , [9] Co 3 O 4 , [10] ZnO, [11] NiO, [12] La 2 O 3 [13] NiCuZnFe 2 O 4 [14] Barium‐Copper‐Cobalt oxide (BCC) [15] etc. The main drawback of using such catalysts is the environmental concerns.…”
