Study of the thermal decomposition mechanism of FOX-7 by molecular dynamics simulation and online photoionization mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: The thermal decomposition mechanism of energetic materials is important for analyzing the combustion mechanisms of propellants and evaluating the safety of propellants during transport and storage. 1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) is an important insensitive energetic material that can be used as an oxidizer in propellants. However, the initial decomposition mechanism of FOX-7 is not clear to date. The ReaxFF molecular dynamics method is widely used in the investigation of the thermal decomposition mechanisms of energetic materials. Meanwhile, the combination of thermogravimetry with online photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TG-PI-TOF-MS) and online single-photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SPI-TOF-MS) can reveal the decomposition products, which may
