TG-MS study on the activity of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn nanometal catalysts on thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

Preparation of Zn–Co Bimetallic Catalysts and Their Catalytic Properties for Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

“…8 To enhance the combustion characteristics of AP, various approaches are employed, including AP refinement treatment 9,10 and the incorporation of catalysts to improve the thermal decomposition properties of AP. 11−13 Currently, catalysts for AP combustion predominantly fall into categories such as nanometals, 14 metal oxides, 15,16 composites, 17−19 ferrocene (Fc)-based compounds 20−22 and organometallic complexes. 23,24 Among these, nanometals and their corresponding oxides are widely used; however, traditional forms tend to agglomerate, thereby limiting their overall catalytic efficiency.…”

Organometallic complexes often employ lead (Pb) as the metal center due to its low cost and rich coordination modes.…”
