Shape-controlled syntheses of Co3O4 nanowires arrays with excellent catalytic performances upon ammonium perchlorate decomposition

A Facile Preparation and Energetic Characteristics of the Core/Shell CoFe2O4/Al Nanowires Thermite Film

“…With our starting chemical materials, the formation mechanism of the CoFe 2 O 4 phase can be described in the following two steps. (1) Precursor NWs can be grown on the Ni substrate by a facile hydrothermal method with the assistance of F − [35,36]. Typically, Co 2+ and Fe 3+ ions are fully coordinated with F − to form [CoF x ] (x−2)− and [FeF y ] (y−3)− in the as-prepared precursor solution, respectively.…”

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

“…Cobalt nanowires of Co 3 O 4 have also been produced by calcination, showing better catalytic activity at 9 wt% than microspheres and nanoparticles of cobalt oxide. 20 More recently, Liang and coworkers 21 evaluated nanoowers and micro-rods of Co 3 O 4 synthesized by chemical bath deposition and the hydrothermal method. Owing to the higher specic surface area and larger pore volume, nanoower Co 3 O 4 had better catalytic performance than microrods for AP thermal decomposition.…”

Enhanced Thermal Decomposition Properties and Catalytic Mechanism of Ammonium Perchlorate over CuO/MoS2 Composite

“…Therefore, highly efficient decomposition of AP at lower temperature with higher heat release is of importance for obtaining more powerful solid fuel rockets . Various transition metal oxides are developed to catalyze AP decomposition, such as Fe 2 O 3 , CuO, MnO 2 , MgO, NiO, Co 2 O 3 , and ZnO . Most of these transition metal oxides are p‐type semiconductors, among which CuO is the most investigated one.…”
