Abstract
. The catalytic mechanism of Al/copper ferrites for the thermal decomposition of AP is obtained based on the electron transfer theories, synergistic catalytic mechanism, and the porous structure of Al/copper ferrites. Due to the mild reaction conditions and low calcination temperature, dozens of grams of product can be safely obtained at one time with low cost and easily available raw materials to meet the requirements of propellant up to several kilograms or other industrial applications.
