Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energetic materials development technology, specifically relating to a ternary potassium-based supramolecular energetic material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Potassium salts can inhibit the chain reaction of free radicals in the combustible gases of propellants and solid propellants, and suppress the generation of secondary flames. They are very effective in eliminating muzzle flash of gun propellants and secondary combustion of rocket propellants, and therefore have good application prospects in propellants and solid propellants. At present, the potassium salts used in actual formulations are mainly inorganic potassium salts such as potassium carbonate and potassium sulfate. Although they can solve the smoke and flame problem to a certain extent, inorganic potassium salts have the following defects that need to be solved: (1) Inorganic potassium salts have strong hygroscopicity, which affects the stability of performance; (2) They do not have energy and cannot provide energy assistance to the formulation, and may even reduce the energy of the formulation, making it difficult to meet the high demand for energy levels.

[0003] Currently, the research and development cycle for synthesizing novel energetic potassium salts is long and the cost is high. Modification of existing energetic potassium salts, such as potassium nitrate, has become a research focus. Although existing methods such as coating can reduce their hygroscopicity, the coating layer is prone to peeling and failure under external shear forces in actual formulations. Therefore, it is necessary to explore and research new modification technologies to develop new materials.

[0004] Supramolecular energetic materials primarily rely on intermolecular interactions and microscopic assembly to form multi-component materials with novel crystal stacking structures and macroscopic properties. The main characteristic of supramolecular energetic materials lies in forming molecular energetic materials with new crystal structures without destroying the original molecular structure. This aims to effectively overcome the drawbacks of the original component molecules, endowing the novel energetic materials with specific properties, and thus effectively regulating the physicochemical, safety, and energy properties of energetic materials.

[0005] However, how to develop new energetic materials and solve the problems of potassium salts in eliminating smoke and flame has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a ternary supramolecular energetic material consisting of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform, along with its preparation method and applications. This method achieves a simple, rapid, and efficient preparation process that is easy to implement continuously, providing an efficient method for the preparation of novel supramolecular energetic materials and effectively solving the problems associated with inorganic potassium salts.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: This invention first provides a method for preparing a potassium-based supramolecular energetic material with a ternary component of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of the assembly solution of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18 crown 6 with potassium nitrate and potassium nitroform Add 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6, potassium nitrate, and potassium nitroform in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 to the assembly solvent. Stir at 20-35℃ until fully dissolved, then filter to obtain the assembly solution for later use. Step 2: Preparation of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18 crown 6 with potassium nitrate and potassium nitroform supramolecular energetic materials Adjust the gas pressure to 0.1-0.5 MPa and the temperature to 70-90°C. Pump the 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6, potassium nitrate, and potassium nitroform assembly solution into the nozzle via a feed pump. Under the action of high-pressure hot gas flow, the solution is dispersed into fine droplets, the solvent evaporates rapidly, and the crystals quickly combine, assemble, and aggregate to form a dry 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform ternary supramolecular energetic material.

[0008] The preparation method provided by this invention combines the energetic and hydrophobic properties of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18-crown 6 with the high oxygen content of potassium nitrate and potassium nitroform. Through a supramolecular assembly strategy, a ternary supramolecular energetic material of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18-crown 6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform is assembled. This preparation method achieves a good match between oxygen supply and hydrophobic properties, providing a new approach for the synthesis and performance regulation of novel energetic materials, while also enriching the types and numbers of supramolecular energetic materials. Furthermore, this invention changes the traditional method of free assembly of solute molecules in solution to forced assembly assisted by external pressure, thereby significantly shortening the preparation cycle and improving the preparation efficiency, providing a rapid and efficient method for the preparation of supramolecular energetic materials. Currently, there are no published reports on the preparation of ternary supramolecular energetic materials of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18-crown 6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform; therefore, this invention develops a novel potassium-based supramolecular energetic material.

[0009] In a preferred method for preparing a ternary supramolecular energetic material of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform, the assembly solvent in step one is any one or a mixture of several of methanol, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and ethyl acetate.

[0010] This invention also discloses a ternary supramolecular energetic material consisting of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method for the ternary supramolecular energetic material consisting of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform.

[0011] The 4,5-dinitrobenzo18-crown 6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform ternary supramolecular energetic material of the present invention belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, space group P121 / n1, and has a crystal density of 1.574 g / cm³. 3 Cell parameters: α=90°, β=97.296(2)°, γ=90°.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (1) Using a supramolecular assembly strategy, a potassium-based supramolecular energetic material with a ternary component of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform was prepared for the first time.

[0013] (2) The preparation method of the present invention is simple and quick. The ternary potassium-based supramolecular energetic material of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform can be quickly prepared by pressure-assisted assembly. The process is simple and easy to operate, with high preparation efficiency and easy to be prepared continuously, providing an efficient method for the preparation of novel supramolecular energetic materials.

[0014] (3) The ternary potassium-based supramolecular energetic material of 4,5-dinitrobenzo18crown6 / potassium nitrate / potassium nitroform is a new material with excellent moisture resistance, high energy and good safety, and has good application prospects in energetic materials.
