General description

Ammonium perchlorate is widely used as an oxidizing agent. The orthorhombic crystals of NH4ClO4 converts to cubic crystal system at temperatures higher than 240°C. CuO nanorods promotes the thermal degradation of ammonium perchlorate.

Application

Ammonium perchlorate (NH4ClO4) may be employed for the purification of as-made “pure” mesoporous silicas via oxidation.

Micrometer-sized cobalt oxalates with different morphologies have been prepared in the presence of surfactants. The effect of catalysts morphology on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) was evaluated by differential thermal analysis (DSC). Remarkably, contrary to the well-accepted concepts
