Dense copper azide synthesized by in-situ reaction of assembled nanoporous copper microspheres and its initiation performance

Copper azide with high density was successfully synthesized by in-situ reaction of nanoporous copper (NPC) precursor with HN3 gaseous. NPC with pore size of about 529 nm has been prepared by electroless plating using polystyrene (PS) as templates. The copper shells thickness of NPC was controlled by...

description Copper azide with high density was successfully synthesized by in-situ reaction of nanoporous copper (NPC) precursor with HN3 gaseous. NPC with pore size of about 529 nm has been prepared by electroless plating using polystyrene (PS) as templates. The copper shells thickness of NPC was controlled by adjusting the PS loading amount. The effects of copper shell on the morphology, structure and density of copper azide were investigated. The conversion increased from 87.12% to 95.31% when copper shell thickness decrease from 100 to 50 nm. Meanwhile, the density of copper azide prepared by 529 nm NPC for 24 h was up to 2.38 g/cm3. The hollow structure of this NPC was filled by swelling of copper azide which guaranteed enough filling volume for keeping the same shape as well as improving the charge density. Moreover, HNS-IV explosive was successfully initiated by copper azide with minimum charge thickness of 0.55 mm, showing that copper azide prepared has excellent initiation performance, which has more advantages in the application of miniaturized explosive systems.
