TL;DR: The experimental data obtained by thermally decomposing unirradiated and irradiated orthorhombic ammonium perchlorate in the temperature range 193°-238°C has been carefully analyzed as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The experimental data obtained by thermally decomposing unirradiated and irradiated orthorhombic ammonium perchlorate in the temperature range 193°–238°C has been carefully analyzed. Most of this data consists of pressure vs time curves of the total evolved gas or that not trapped at −95°C or lower, obtained with powders and millimeter‐size crystals. All of these curves can be described by the Avrami–Erofeyev equation. The increase in the acceleratory period rate, which is induced by, and is proportional to, x‐ or γ‐ray irradiation prior to decomposition, can be attributed to the introduction of additional decomposition sites, an increase in the rate that each nucleus grows, or a combination of these. Independent microscopic examination of partially decomposed crystals also indicates that irradiation has increased the concentration of decomposition nuclei. In addition, the p vs t curve analysis shows that irradiation has increased the rate that potential decomposition sites are converted to active sites. ...

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D core/shell heterostructured LaFeO3@MnO2 composite was constructed by coupling LaFe3 with MnO2, which provided a larger specific surface area and high catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) with a reduced decomposition temperature from 403.73°C to 281.38°C, an enhanced energy release from 649.6

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic activity of nanoparticles of cobalt hydroxide supported on reduced graphene oxide, Co(OH)2|rGO, was studied for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the principal ingredient of composite solid propellants.
Abstract: The catalytic activity of nanoparticles of cobalt hydroxide supported on reduced graphene oxide, Co(OH)2|rGO, was studied for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP), the principal ingredient of composite solid propellants Co(OH)2|rGO was synthesized by an in situ reduction method, which avoided the application of extremely high temperatures and harsh processes rGO stabilized the nanoparticles effectively and prevented their agglomeration The performance of Co(OH)2|rGO as a catalyst was measured by differential scanning calorimetry Co(OH)2|rGO affected the high-temperature decomposition (HTD) of AP positively, decreasing the decomposition temperature of AP to 292 °C, and increasing the energy release to 290 J g−1 The diminution of the HTD of AP by Co(OH)2|rGO is in between the best values reported to date, suggesting its potential application as a catalyst for AP decomposition
