Facile mass preparation and characterization of Al/copper ferrites metastable intermolecular energetic nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, a novel Al/copper ferrites metastable intermolecular energetic nanocomposite was prepared by a simple and mild sol-gel method followed by low temperature calcination, and characterized by various analytical techniques. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggests that the products contain crystal forms of aluminum and spinel-type ferrite crystal forms which are CuFe₂O₄ with many crystal defects. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses reveal that the prepared Al/copper ferrites are mesoporous structures with large specific surface areas of up to 184.47 m² g^-1 and further reveal the pore construction of this material. Its crystal defects and large specific surface area provide the po
