Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energetic materials technology, and relates to aluminum-based composite energetic materials, specifically to an assembly and preparation method for aluminum-based composite energetic materials. Background Technology
[0002] Nano-aluminum metal fuels have become a core component for improving the energy density and combustion efficiency of solid propellants due to their advantages such as good combustion performance, high calorific value, high energy density, and ease of control. Studies have shown that when the size of aluminum particles is reduced to the nanoscale, their specific surface area increases significantly, which can significantly promote the interfacial reaction kinetics with oxidizers, achieving a burning rate increase of more than 50%.
[0003] However, the high surface activity of nano-aluminum particles makes them highly susceptible to oxidation in air, forming a dense Al₂O₃ passivation layer (2–5 nm thick). This passivation layer not only reduces the reactivity of nano-Al but also decreases the content of active Al, severely limiting its energy release efficiency. Numerous researchers have developed various aluminum-based composite energetic materials to enhance the energy release of nano-Al through surface modification, physical assembly, and core-shell structure design. For example, various nanocomposite energetic materials have been prepared by coating nano-Al with PTFE core-shell technology. However, due to drawbacks such as high organic material content, uneven coating leading to reduced system energy density, difficulty in in-situ assembly, and complex preparation processes hindering mass production, aluminum-based composite energetic materials remain somewhat distant from practical application. Therefore, based on the aforementioned problems and shortcomings, there is an urgent need to develop novel aluminum-based composite materials with in-situ assembly capabilities to overcome the technical bottlenecks in energy performance and preparation.

[0009] Secondly, nano-aluminum powder was added to the graphene oxide dispersion and ultrasonically dispersed, followed by stirring to obtain a nano-aluminum-graphene oxide assembled dispersion.
[0010] Next, water was used as a solvent, and ammonium perchlorate and triethylenediamine were added and stirred until dissolved to form an ammonium perchlorate-triethylenediamine aqueous solution.
[0011] Then, under stirring conditions and by controlling the mixing reaction temperature, ammonium perchlorate-triethylenediamine aqueous solution was added to the nano-aluminum-graphene oxide assembly dispersion, and the reaction was stirred to obtain the precursor assembly dispersion.
[0012] Step 2, Assembly and preparation of composite energetic materials:
[0013] Under mixed reaction temperature and stirring conditions, perchloric acid was added dropwise to the precursor assembly dispersion prepared in step one. After the addition was complete, the reaction was carried out. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was stirred and cooled to room temperature. Finally, after separation, washing and drying, the aluminum-based composite energetic material could be collected.
