Facile synthesis of MgCo2O4 nanosheets and its catalysis effect on the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

The catalysis effects of MgCo2O4 nanosheets on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) were investigated. The MgCo2O4 nanosheets were synthesized with a facile free-template hydrothermal method. The chemical structure and micro morphology of MgCo2O4 nanosheets were characterized. Moreover, the catalysis thermal decomposition properties of AP using composite metal oxides MgCo2O4 nanosheets with different contents (1wt%, 3wt%, and 5wt%) as catalysts were investigated. The results showed that the reducing decomposition temperature of AP was 155.9 °C from 431 °C to 275.1 °C with 5wt% MgCo2O4 added. The heat release of AP was increased of 907 J/g at least. In addition, the catalysis thermal decomposition mechanism of AP with the existence of MgCo2O4 nanosheets was explained. With the increasing temperature, the accumulated electrons (e-) and holes (h+) excited was activated at the surface of MgCo2O4 nanosheets, which accelerated H transfer from H atom of NH4+ to O atom of ClO4- and boosted AP decomposition.

Solvent-Tuned Synthesis of Mesoporous Nickel Cobaltite Nanostructures and Their Catalytic Properties

In this paper, we prepared mesoporous nickel cobaltite (NiCo2O4) nanostructures with multi-morphologies by simple solvothermal and subsequent heat treatment. By adjusting the solvent type, mesoporous NiCo2O4 nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, and microspheres were easily prepared. The as-prepared products were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Furthermore, the catalytic activities towards the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) of as-prepared NiCo2O4 nanostructures were investigated.
