Preparation of CNTs Coated with Polydopamine-Ni Complexes and Their Catalytic Effects on the Decomposition of CL-20.

ABSTRACT: To improve the condensed-phase reaction rate of ε-CL-20, polydopamine (PDA)-nickel complex-coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been prepared and used as combustion catalysts. The PDA-Ni complex has been prepared and in situ coprecipitated with ε-CL-20 by an antisolvent crystallization process in its dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution. It has been shown that crystalline CL-20 composites included with PDA-Ni complexes are polygon-shaped with a smooth surface and an average diameter of 10-15 μm, whereas it is 140 μm for raw ε-CL-20 crystals. The catalytic reactivity of the complex on thermolysis of CL-20 has been investigated using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG)-coupled Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy technique. It has been found that CNT@PDA-Ni complexes have catalytic effects on the decomposition of ε-CL-20 by decreasing/shifting of the exothermic peak from T _p = 240.1 to 238.7 °C. The FT-IR spectra of CL-20 decomposition products under the effect of the catalyst predominantly show peaks at 1274, 1644 and 1596, 1912, 2265, and 1956-1800 cm^-1, indicating the presence of fragments with N₂O, NO₂, NO, HNCO, and NO/CO, respectively. The change in the ε-CL-20 decomposition mechanism should be attributed to the catalytic action of CNT, decreasing the formation of NO₂. Also, under the effect of the carbon-based catalyst, the HNCO formation was detected at another temperature in comparison with raw CL-20, with peak absorption at 224.1 vs 232.3 °C and the evolution was completed at 250.8 vs 246.2 °C, respectively.

Project description:Cu nanoparticles are more active catalytically than CuO nanoparticles, which have been widely studied as catalysts for organic synthesis, electrochemistry, and optics. However, Cu nanoparticles are easily agglomerated and oxidized in air. In this research, columnar, flower-like, bubble-like and teardrop-shaped Cu/GO nanocomposites were fabricated via a water-solvent thermal method and high temperature calcination technique using deionized water (H2O), methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, respectively. The structures, the morphology and the catalytic performance and catalytic mechanism for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) of the Cu/GO nanocomposites have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption tests (BET), simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) and thermogravimetric couplet with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TGA-FTIR), respectively. The experimental results show that the morphology of the Cu/GO nanocomposites has a significant effect on the surface area and the teardrop-shaped Cu/GO nanocomposites have the largest specific surface area and the best catalytic performance among them. When 5 wt% of the Cu/GO nanocomposites was added, the decomposition temperature of AP decreased from 426.3 °C to 345.5 °C and the exothermic heat released from the decomposition of AP increased from 410.4 J g-1 to 4159.4 J g-1. In addition, the four morphological Cu/GO nanocomposites exhibited good stability, their catalytic performance for thermal decomposition of AP remained stable after 1 month in air. Excellent catalytic performance and stability were attributed to the strong catalytic activity of pure metal nanoparticles, and GO can accelerate electron movement and inhibit the agglomeration of nanoparticles, as well as the multiple effects of inhibiting the oxidation of Cu nanoparticles in air. Therefore, it has important application potential in high-energy solid propellant.
