Catalytic effects of p-phenylene-bridged methylated binuclear ferrocenes on thermal decomposition of the main component of composite solid propellants

Catalytic Effects of Ruthenocene Bimetallic Compounds Derived from Fused Aromatic Ring Ligands on the Main Oxidizing Agent for Solid Rocket Motor

“…1 Nevertheless, considering the limited loading of AP used for the development of rockets, it is imperative to increase its decomposition effectiveness further to produce a large amount of energy as far as possible and to decrease its combustion temperature for easy operation and control. 1 Different types of burning rate (BR) catalysts such as nanoparticles, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] coordination complexes, [9][10][11] and ferrocene derivatives [12][13][14][15][16][17] have been studied to improve the decomposition efficiency of AP. Among them, ferrocenelike homobimetallic compounds have recently reached huge attention due to their microscopic homogeneity in the distribution with the binder agent (HTPB: hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene) and the astonishing effects over the burning rates and pressure indexes of the propellants.…”

Preparation of g‐C3N4 Nanosheets/CuO with Enhanced Catalytic Activity on the Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

“…To date, numerous catalysts have been developed and employed in AP and AP‐based propellants. Transition metal oxides (TMOs), [10–15] carbon materials (CNT and GO), [16–17] MOFs materials, [18–19] ferrocene and its derivatives [20–21] are effective in catalyzing AP. Based on numerous investigations, there is a conclusion that various p ‐type metal oxides, including CuO, Mn 3 O 4 , Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , Ce 3 O 4 , MnO 2 , etc, demonstrate considerable effect during decomposition of AP.…”

Nanohybrids of reduced graphene oxide and cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2|rGO) for the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

“…The decomposition properties of AP can be tuned by adding a burn rate catalyst, 4 which can alter its highest decomposition temperature, and therefore increase the combustion rate. Traditionally, ferrocene derivatives 5,6 and negrained metal oxides have been used as burn rate catalysts. The effect of metal micro and nanoparticles (NP) on the decomposition of AP has been widely assessed.…”
