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

ABSTRACT: The catalytic activity of nanoparticles of cobalt hydroxide supported on reduced graphene oxide, Co(OH)₂|rGO, was studied for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the principal ingredient of composite solid propellants. Co(OH)₂|rGO was synthesized by an in situ reduction method, which avoided the application of extremely high temperatures and harsh processes. rGO stabilized the nanoparticles effectively and prevented their agglomeration. The performance of Co(OH)₂|rGO as a catalyst was measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Co(OH)₂|rGO affected the high-temperature decomposition (HTD) of AP positively, decreasing the decomposition temperature of AP to 292 °C, and increasing the energy release to 290 J g^-1. The diminution of the HTD of AP by Co(OH)₂|rGO is in between the best values reported to date, suggesting its potential application as a catalyst for AP decomposition.

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.
