Nanometer cobalt ferrite (Co) was synthesized by polyol-medium solvothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Further, the catalytic activity and kinetic parameters of Co nanocrystallites on the thermal decomposition behavior of ammonium perchlorate (AP) have been investigated by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry analysis (TG-DSC). The results imply that the catalytic performance of Co nanocrystallites is significant and the decrease in the activation energy and the increase in the rate constant for AP further confirm the enhancement in catalytic activity of Co nanocrystallites. A mechanism based on an proton transfer process has also been proposed for AP in the presence of Co nanocrystallites.

Nitrogen-doped zinc oxide (N-doped ZnO) nanocrystallites were synthesized via improved one-step combustion technique by using citric acid as additive. Scan electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to determine the grain size, shape, degree of nitrogen incorporation and nature of the resultant oxynitride chemical bonding. The catalytic performance of N-doped ZnO on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) was investigated by DSC-TG technique. The results show that the as-synthesized N-doped ZnO has uniform crystallite size about 20-30nm in diameter and 1.25%wt nitrogen incorporation, which forms into NO bonding region in ZnO crystal lattice. The nitrogen doping is accountable for the significant increase in catalytic activity on the thermal decomposition of AP versus the commercial nanometer ZnO and the thermal decomposition peak shifts 133°C downward when the content of N-doped ZnO in AP is 3%wt.

In this work, a mixing-calcination method was developed to facilely construct MXene/CuO nanocomposite. CuO and MXene were first dispersed in ethanol with sufficient mixing. After solvent evaporation, the dried mixture was calcinated under argon to produce a MXene/CuO nanocomposite. As characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), CuO nanoparticles (60–100 nm) were uniformly distributed on the surface and edge of MXene nanosheets. Furthermore, as evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), the high-temperature decomposition (HTD) temperature decrease of ammonium perchlorate (AP) upon addition of 1 wt% CuO (hybridized with 1 wt% MXene) was comparable with that of 2 wt% CuO alone, suggesting an enhanced catalytic activity of CuO on thermal decomposition of AP upon hybridization with MXene nanosheets. This strategy could be further applied to construct other MXene/transition metal oxide (MXene/TMO) composites with improved performance for various applications.

A magnetic nanoparticles supported dual acidic ionic liquid catalyst was prepared via anchoring 3-sulfobutyl-1-(3-propyltriethoxysilane) imidazolium hydrogen sulfate onto the surface of silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. And this novel supported acidic ionic liquid catalyst showed good catalytic performance in esterification. More importantly, the catalyst could be easily recovered by an external magnet and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
