Review of Graphene-Based Energetic Compounds

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
2021 International Conference on Development and Application of Carbon Nanomaterials in Energetic Materials (ICCN 2021)

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 276))

Abstract

This paper systematically introduces the latest research progress of graphene-based energetic compounds in recent years from three aspects: the preparation method of graphene-based energetic compounds, the desensitization effect and the catalytic effect of graphene-based materials on energetic materials. The preparation methods of graphene-based energetic compounds can be divided into physical combination and chemical bonding. The insensitive agent composed of graphene-based materials can reduce the mechanical sensitivity of energetic materials. Catalysts composed of graphene-based materials can significantly improve the combustion performance of energetic materials. Graphene-based composite energetic materials possess excellent combustion thermochemical properties. Finally, the key research directions and research prospects of graphene-based energetic compounds in the future are proposed.
