Abstract

1,5-Diaminotetrazolium nitrate (HDATN) was synthesized with 1,5-diaminotetrazole (DAT) as the raw material. The maximum yield of HDATN was 95.3 %. The structure was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and mass spectrum, and the possible fragmentation mechanism was discussed. The morphology was analyzed by SEM. The thermal stability of HDATN was investigated by TG-DSC and DTA techniques. The kinetic parameters including activation energy and pro-exponential factor were calculated by Kissinger equation. The performance of combustion, combustion heat, and formation enthalpy of HDATN were measured. The detonation products of HDATN were most nitrogen, which were analyzed by gas chromatograph and smoke analyzer. The density, formation heat, detonation pressure, and detonation velocity of HDATN were calculated. It exhibited prospective application in environmentally friendly gas generant and explosion field.
