1-Amino-2-nitroguanidine (ANQ) is a high-energy nitrogen-rich compound with good detonation properties and low sensitivities. ANQ has only a central carbon atom with three small groups around it, including an amino, a hydrazine and a nitroxyl group. Though the molecular structure of ANQ is very simple, its reactivity is surprisingly abundant. ANQ can undergo various reactions, including reduction reaction, acylation reaction, salification reaction, coordination reaction, aldimine condensation reaction, cyclization reaction and azide reaction. Many new energetic compounds were purposely obtained through these reactions. These reactions were systematically summarized in this review, and detonation properties of some energetic compounds were compared. In the field of energetic materials, ANQ and some derivatives exhibit good application prospects.

Abstract High nitrogen energetic compounds have always been a hot spot in energetic materials. In this work, we provide a new approach for the design of promising energetic molecules containing pentazole. Attractive energetic compounds include 5-amino-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA) and 5-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-3-one(NTO) are used to effectively combine with pentazole to form a series of pentazole derivatives. Then, the NH2, NO2 or NF2 groups were introduced into the system to further adjust the property. Herein, the structures and densities of designed compounds as well as the heats of formation, detonation properties and impact sensitivities were predicted based on density functional theory (DFT). The results show that all ten designed molecules have excellent densities (1.81 g/cm3 to 1.97 g/cm3) and high heats of formation (621.66 kJ/mol to 1374.63 kJ/mol). Furthermore, detonation performances of compounds A3 (P = 41.16 GPa and D = 9.45 km/s) and A4 (P = 43.90 GPa and D = 9.69 km/s) are superior to 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and lower impact sensitivity than HMX. It exhibited that they could be taken as promising candidates of high-energy density materials. This work provides a worthy way to explore the energetic compounds with excellent performance based on pentazole.

Abstract In this study, 32 energetic compounds were designed using oxadiazoles (1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole) as the parent by inserting different groups as well as changing the bridge between the parent. These compounds had high-density and excellent detonation properties. The electrostatic potentials of the designed compounds were analyzed using density functional theory (DFT). The structure, heat of formation (HOF), density, detonation performances (detonation pressure P , detonation velocity D , detonation heat Q ), and thermal stability of each compound were systematically studied based on molecular dynamics. The results showed that the -N 3 group has the greatest improvement in HOF. For the detonation performances, the directly linked, -N=N-, -NH-NH- were beneficial when used as a bridge between 1,2,5-oxadiazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole, and it can also be found that bridge changing had little effect on the trend of detonation performance, while energetic groups changing influenced differently. The designed compounds (except for A2 , B2 , B4 ) all had higher detonation properties than TNT, A6 ( D = 9.41 km s -1 , P = 41.86 GPa, Q = 1572.251 cal g -1 ) was the highest, followed D6 had poorer performance ( D = 8.96 km s -1 , P = 37.46 GPa, Q = 1354.51 cal g -1 ).

Nitrated-pyrazole-based energetic compounds have attracted wide publicity in the field of energetic materials (EMs) due to their high heat of formation, high density, tailored thermal stability, and detonation performance. Many nitrated-pyrazole-based energetic compounds have been developed to meet the increasing demands of high power, low sensitivity, and eco-friendly environment, and they have good applications in explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics. Continuous and growing efforts have been committed to promote the rapid development of nitrated-pyrazole-based EMs in the last decade, especially through large amounts of Chinese research. Some of the ultimate aims of nitrated-pyrazole-based materials are to develop potential candidates of castable explosives, explore novel insensitive high energy materials, search for low cost synthesis strategies, high efficiency, and green environmental protection, and further widen the applications of EMs. This review article aims to present the recent processes in the synthesis and physical and explosive performances of the nitrated-pyrazole-based Ems, including monopyrazoles with nitro, bispyrazoles with nitro, nitropyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazoles, and their derivatives, and to comb the development trend of these compounds. This review intends to prompt fresh concepts for designing prominent high-performance nitropyrazole-based EMs.

Abstract In this manuscript, we reported the design and prediction of two oxadiazole-based cage-like molecules and their derivatives using density function theory (DFT). The heats formation and detonation properties were calculated using Hess’s law and Kamlet-Jacobs equations with B3PW91 method. The molecular stability and geometry were analyzed using M06-2X method and molecular crystal structures were predicted based on Monte Carlo simulation, while chemical reactive sites were judged using PBE0 method based on Fukui function. The theoretical calculation result proved that the designed molecules exhibit ideal symmetric cage-like geometry and show superior physicochemical and detonation properties. Compared with traditional energetic materials, the designed molecules display more positive solid heats formation and lower sensitivity. The designed molecules could be considered as promising HEDM candidates with potential synthesis and application value.

Based on the backbone of the nitrogen-rich triazole and tetrazole structure, their N–OH derivatives were designed to improve the properties of energetic materials. This work introduces five novel nitrogen-rich derivatives and their energetic salts as high-performance compounds. Reliable methods and correlations are used to predict the heat of formation, density, detonation, and combustion properties and explosive power. The predicted energetic properties are also compared with well-known explosives, TNT, TATB, RDX, and HMX, to evaluate the performance. A majority of the designed salts exhibited high positive heats of formation, good detonation properties, and high explosive power. Ammonium, hydrazinium, and hydroxylammonium salts (1–3), which have relatively high densities (over 1.86 g/cm3), resulted in good detonation velocities (above 9.0 km/s) and pressures (above 35 GPa), making them competitive energetic materials.

Abstract In this paper, twelve 1,3-dinitrohexahydropyrimidine-based energetic compounds were designed by introducing various explosopheres into hexahydropyrimidine skeleton. Their geometric and electronic structures, heats of formation (HOFs), energetic performance, thermal stability and impact sensitivity were discussed. It is found that the incorporation of electron-withdrawing groups (–NO2, –NHNO2, –N3, –CH(NO2)2, –CF(NO2)2, –C(NO2)3) improves HOFs of the derivatives and all the substituents contribute to enhancing the densities and detonation properties (D, P) of the title compounds. Therein, the substitution of –C(NO2)3 features the best energetic performance with detonation velocity of 9.40 km s−1 and detonation pressure of 40.20 GPa. An analysis of the bond dissociation energies suggests that N–NO2 bond may be the initial site in the thermal decompositions for most of the derivatives. Besides, –ONO2 and –NF2 derivatives stand out with lower impact sensitivity. Characters with striking detonation properties (D = 8.62 km s−1, P = 35.08 GPa; D = 8.81 km s−1, P = 34.88 GPa), good thermal stability, and acceptable impact sensitivity (characteristic height H50 over 34 cm) lead novel compounds 5,5-difluoramine-1,3-dinitrohexahydropyrimidine (K) and 5-fluoro-1,3,5-trinitrohexahydropyrimidine (L) to be very promising energetic materials. This work provides the theoretical molecular design and a reasonable synthetic route of L for further experimental synthesis and testing.

AbstractRechargeable room temperature sodium–sulfur (RT Na–S) batteries are seriously limited by low sulfur utilization and sluggish electrochemical reaction activity of polysulfide intermediates. Herein, a 3D “branch-leaf” biomimetic design proposed for high performance Na–S batteries, where the leaves constructed from Co nanoparticles on carbon nanofibers (CNF) are fully to expose the active sites of Co. The CNF network acts as conductive “branches” to ensure adequate electron and electrolyte supply for the Co leaves. As an effective electrocatalytic battery system, the 3D “branch-leaf” conductive network with abundant active sites and voids can effectively trap polysulfides and provide plentiful electron/ions pathways for electrochemical reaction. DFT calculation reveals that the Co nanoparticles can induce the formation of a unique Co–S–Na molecular layer on the Co surface, which can enable a fast reduction reaction of the polysulfides. Therefore, the prepared “branch-leaf” CNF-L@Co/S electrode exhibits a high initial specific capacity of 1201 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C and superior rate performance.
