Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of energetic materials, and specifically relates to a method for synthesizing nickel hydrazine nitrate based on inkjet printing and its application. Background Art

[0002] Primary explosives are a type of explosive that explodes with relatively weak initial impulse energy, achieving maximum explosion velocity within a short period of time and easily transitioning from combustion to detonation. They are widely used in both military and civilian explosives industries. Nickel hydrazine nitrate is a coordinated energetic material characterized by smokeless, odorless, and residue-free combustion, offering promising development prospects in smokeless fireworks. As a primary explosive, nickel hydrazine nitrate offers advantages such as low mechanical sensitivity and high flame sensitivity.

[0003] In recent years, to meet the demands of miniaturization and intelligentization of weaponry, pyrotechnics are evolving toward microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), characterized by diverse functions, miniaturized structures, and sequential integration. This requires that the energy converter and charge structures be micron-sized. Consequently, this places higher demands on the charge: high explosive power combined with a low charge mass.

[0004] Inkjet printing has been shown to facilitate the small-scale deposition of functional inks, overcoming the limitations of current processes that limit submillimeter spatial control. Researchers both domestically and internationally have explored the high-precision, complex-patterned, micro- and nanoscale microfabrication of energetic materials and energetic devices. However, due to the high sensitivity of initiators, there are no reports of successful in-situ initiator charging using inkjet printing. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This embodiment provides a method for synthesizing nickel hydrazine nitrate based on inkjet printing and its application. Specifically, it includes:

[0053] S1, configure ink

[0054] Prepare nickel nitrate ink: Take 18 mL of deionized water and 2 mL of anhydrous ethanol, mix well, and then add 2 g of PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone). After it is fully dissolved, take 1 mL of the solution and add 0.5 g of nickel nitrate to it to prepare 0.5 g / mL nickel nitrate ink; the surface tension is 36 mN / m and the viscosity is 6.8 cPs.

[0055] To prepare hydrazine hydrate ink, take 0.5 g of 85% hydrazine hydrate solution (volume approximately 0.59 mL), add 0.3 mL of water and 0.1 mL of ethylene glycol to it to make a 0.5 g / mL hydrazine hydrate solution; the surface tension is 41 mN / m and the viscosity is 11 cPs;

[0056] S2, inkjet printing

[0057] Nickel nitrate ink was loaded into the DMP-2850 and the printing parameters were set as follows: voltage 15 V, frequency 5 kHz, nozzle temperature 30°C, drop spacing 20 μm, voltage rise / fall within 1 μs, pulse duration ~6.4 μs, and 100% printing potential.

[0058] In this embodiment, the printing medium is a silicon dioxide substrate (1.5 mm × 1.8 mm); the printing area is 0.6 mm × 0.6 mm, the number of layers is 10, and then the hydrazine hydrate ink is replaced to print 11 layers. At this time, the molar number of hydrazine hydrate is slightly greater than the molar number of nickel nitrate, which is conducive to the full reaction.

[0059] S3, vacuum drying

[0060] The in-situ printed semiconductor bridge containing nickel hydrazine nitrate was placed in a vacuum oven and dried at 40° C. for 6 h to obtain a finished product.

[0061] Figure 1 is the SEM image of the synthesized nickel hydrazine nitrate sample; Figure 2 This is a sample image of nickel hydrazine nitrate printed on a substrate; Figure 2 This is the infrared spectrum of the synthesized nickel hydrazine nitrate sample.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] Take 19mL of deionized water and add 1mL of anhydrous ethanol, while keeping other conditions unchanged, to prepare nickel nitrate ink. It was found that the change of ethanol content had almost no effect on the viscosity, and the surface tension was 40mN / m, so the finished nickel hydrazine nitrate product could be successfully printed.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] In two experiments, 0.5g and 1.5g of PVP were added, respectively, to prepare nickel nitrate ink. The experiments found that the change in PVP concentration had little effect on surface tension, primarily affecting viscosity. The viscosities of the nickel nitrate inks in the two experiments were 4.12 cPs and 5.80 cPs, respectively. All other conditions were the same as in Example 1, and the finished nickel hydrazine nitrate was successfully printed.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] The solvent component ethylene glycol:deionized water mass ratio was increased from 1:3 to 1:4, and the hydrazine hydrate ink was prepared. The viscosity decreased from 12 cPs to 9 cPs. When the other conditions were the same as in Example 1, printing was also possible, and the finished nickel hydrazine nitrate product was successfully printed.

[0068] Comparative Example 1

[0069] I added 4 mL of ethanol to 16 mL of deionized water, leaving all other conditions unchanged, to create nickel nitrate ink. However, the measured surface tension was too low, causing the ink to overflow and fail to form single droplets. Consequently, the nickel nitrate ink failed to print.

[0070] Comparative Example 2

[0071] Hydrazine hydrate inks were prepared with solvent components of ethylene glycol and deionized water in a mass ratio of 1:2 and 1:1, respectively, while other conditions remained unchanged. The viscosity of both inks was too high, and the ink could not be squeezed out of the nozzle, resulting in failure to print.
