Detonation synthesis of carbon nano-onions via liquid carbon condensation

Journal Article Bagge-Hansen, M. ; Bastea, S. ; Hammons, J. A. ; ... - Nature Communications

Transit through the carbon liquid phase has significant consequences for the subsequent formation of solid nanocarbon detonation products. We report dynamic measurements of liquid carbon condensation and solidification into nano-onions over ~200 ns by analysis of time-resolved, small-angle X-ray scattering data acquired during detonation of a hydrogen-free explosive, DNTF (3,4-bis(3-nitrofurazan-4-yl)furoxan). Further, thermochemical modeling predicts a direct liquid to solid graphite phase transition for DNTF products ~200 ns post-detonation. Solid detonation products were collected and characterized by high-resolution electron microscopy to confirm the abundance of carbon nano-onions with an average diameter of ~10 nm, matching the dynamic measurements. We analyze othermore »« less

Melt-castable energetic compounds comprising oxadiazoles and methods of production thereof

Patent Pagoria, Philip F ; Zhang, Mao X

In one embodiment, a melt-castable energetic material comprises at least one of: 3,5-bis(4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (DNFO), and 3-(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-5-(4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2- ,4-oxadiazole (ANFO). In another embodiment, a method for forming a melt-castable energetic material includes reacting 3,5-bis(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (DAFO) with oxygen or an oxygen-containing compound to form a mixture of at least: DNFO, and ANFO.

Environmentally Benign and Scalable Preparation of Diethyl Furoxan-3,4-dicarboxylate Using Silver Carbonate as a Nitrile Oxide Generator

Journal Article Zhang, Mao-Xi ; DeHope, Alan J. ; Pagoria, Philip. F. - Organic Process Research & Development

Diethyl furoxan-3,4-dicarboxylate (1) is a starting material for many heterocyclic compounds containing furoxan and furazan rings. Usually, furoxan 1 was prepared via a dimerization of corresponding nitrile oxide generated either by treatment of ethyl 2-chloro-2-(hydroxyimino)-acetate (2) with triethylamine or by nitration or conversion of α-activated ethyl acetate with acetyl nitrate in acetic acid or other catalytic reagents. Both methods are suitable for small-scale but suffered from various drawbacks for large-scale preparation. Years ago, a general method for the preparation of furoxan from corresponding hydroximidoyl chloride (R–CCl=NOH) with silver carbonate (Ag ₂CO ₃) was developed in our group. Now this methodmore »« less

Synthesis of a new energetic nitrate ester

Journal Article Chavez, David E - Angewandte Chemie

Nitrate esters have been known as useful energetic materials since the discovery of nitroglycerin by Ascanio Sobrero in 1846. The development of methods to increase the safety and utility of nitroglycerin by Alfred Nobel led to the revolutionary improvement in the utility of nitroglycerin in explosive applications in the form of dynamite. Since then, many nitrate esters have been prepared and incorporated into military applications such as double-based propellants, detonators and as energetic plasticizers. Nitrate esters have also been shown to have vasodilatory effects in humans and thus have been studied and used for treatments of ailments such as angina.more »« less

Control of morphology and function of low band gap polymer–bis-fullerene mixed heterojunctions in organic photovoltaics with selective solvent vapor annealing

Journal Article Chen, Huipeng ; Hsiao, Yu-Che ; Hu, Bin ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry. A

We reported how by replacing PCBM with a bis-adduct fullerene (i.e. ICBA) we significantly improve the open circuit voltage (VOC) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) in P3HT bulk heterojunctions. But, for the most promising low band-gap polymer (LBP) systems, replacing PCBM with ICBA results in very poor shortcircuit current (JSC) and PCE although the VOC is significantly improved. Therefore, in this work, we have completed small angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectometry experiments to study the impact of post-deposition solvent annealing (SA) with control of solvent quality on the morphology and performance of LBP bis-fullerene BHJ photovoltaics. Our results showmore »« less
