Polymeric Carbon Nitride/Iron Oxide Composites: A Novel Class of Catalysts with Reduced Metal Content for Ammonium Perchlorate Thermal Decomposition.

ABSTRACT: The ever-growing number of space launches triggering an enormous release of metallic dead weight into the atmosphere has become a global concern. Despite technological advancements, the inclusion of environmental concerns in space research has become the need of the hour. Here, we report the impact of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃)-doped polymeric carbon nitride (gCN) composites with varying metal contents (namely, GF1, GF2, and GF3 with iron contents of 0.1, 0.25, and 2 mmol, respectively) as a new class of catalysts for ammonium perchlorate (AP) thermolysis. Morphology studies revealed the dendritic morphology of the synthesized Fe₂O₃, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed the effective interaction between Fe₂O₃
