Molecular and crystal insights into the structural design of low-sensitivity energetic materials

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Energy and safety are the properties of major concern for energetic materials. However, their high energy is mostly accompanied by low molecular stability, i.e., high sensitivity. Therefore, it is a long-term pursuit full of challenges to develop new energetic materials with high energy and low sensitivity. In this chapter, the structure–energy–sensitivity correlations from chemical composition, molecular structure, and crystal engineering are particularly discussed, as they are expected to provide some molecular design tips on new low-sensitivity energetic materials.
