The thermal stability and kinetics of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) decomposition were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the thermal decomposition reaction mechanism was determined by density functional theory (DFT). With the help of parameter values from the non-isothermal DSC curves of HAN, the thermal decomposition activation energy and pre-exponential constant were obtained by the Kissinger and Ozawa methods. Then, the most probable mechanism function was calculated by the Šatava–Šesták method. Seven different paths for the thermal decomposition mechanism of HAN were formulated and DFT at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level was used to carry out the dynamics analysis. The calculated results show that the values of the activation energy calculated by the Kissinger and Ozawa methods are 67.892 and 70.412 kJ mol−1 respectively. The most probable mechanism function calculated by the Šatava–Šesták method is [Formula: see text]. The path being favoured energetically in the dynamics is in the order: Path6 > Path5 > Path4 > Path1 > Path2 > Path7 > Path3.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a common and useful method for thermal analysis. This paper briefly introduces the thermal decomposition characteristic determination of the main components of propellant by DSC assay and the applications of DSC in thermal stability and compatibility evaluation research of energetic materials.
