Catalytic Performances of rGO-MFe2O4 (M = Ni, Co and Zn) for Pyrolysis of Ammonium Perchlorate

Pyrolysis property of ammonium perchlorate (AP) are significance to the combustion properties of AP-based propellant. This study will seek to disclose the effects of the graphene-ferrite nanocomplex (rGO-MFe2O4, M = Ni, Co and Zn), fabricated via the facile one-pot solvothermal method, for AP pyrolysis. Among them, the rGO-CoFe2O4 own outstanding catalytic property for AP pyrolysis, and the high decomposition peak temperature (THDP) of AP + rGO-CoFe2O4 were decreased by 57.4 °C compared with pristine AP. Results of this study are helpful to understand the catalytic property and mechanism of rGO-MFe2O4 for AP pyrolysis.
