Graphite oxide–iron oxide nanocomposites as a new class of catalyst for the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Fe2O3-GO nanocomposite as a new class of catalyst for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP), a rocket propellant oxidizer, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper oxide alumina composite via template assisted sol–gel method for ammonium perchlorate decomposition
TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of BRM based on nano copper oxide (CuO) dispersed on alumina by a sol-gel method was reported. But the optimum concentration of CuO:Al2O3 was found to be 80:20 which shows highest catalytic activity for the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) due to the good dispersion of MCO over alumina thereby exposing most of the active sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalized white graphene – Copper oxide nanocomposite: Synthesis, characterization and application as catalyst for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate
TL;DR: A simple, efficient and high-yield process for the production of copper oxide nanoparticles dispersed on a chemically inert material, few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with a thickness around 1.7nm and lateral dimensions mostly below 200nm is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aloe vera leaf extract-assisted facile green synthesis of amorphous Fe 2 O 3 for catalytic thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate
TL;DR: In this article, a mesoporous Fe2O3-250 catalyst was used for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) in a novel sol-gel method using Aloe vera leaf extract.
