Abstract
Ni(II)-doped Zn-based coordination polymer particles (Ni(II)-doped Zn-CPPs) with controllable shape and size were successfully synthesized by solvothermal method, which further transformed to porous ZnO–NiO composite micropolyhedra without significant alterations in shape by calcination in air. Those products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and gas adsorption measurements. The catalytic activity of ZnO–NiO composites for the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) was investigated. The result shows that all ZnO–NiO composites efficiently catalyzed the thermal decomposition of AP, and NiO–ZnO composite hollow octahedrons have the highest catalytic efficiency compared with that of most materials reported to now, indicating that porous ZnO–NiO composite micropolyhedra could be a promising candidate material for application in AP-based propellant.
