Abstract:
Copper β‐resorcylate (cupric 2,4‐dihydroxy‐benzoate, β‐Cu) nanoparticles were prepared at a large‐scale via a facile wet mechanical grinding method and vacuum freeze‐drying process. The as‐prepared β‐Cu nanoparticles were characterized by powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR). The results revealed that the nano‐sized β‐Cu is of semi‐spherical shape and of homogeneous distribution, with a fairly uniform size of 100 nm. The formation mechanism of β‐Cu nanoparticles in the whole process was discussed in detail. Furthermore, the catalytic properties of as‐obtained β‐Cu were investigated. The TG/DSC study showed that nano‐sized β‐Cu could be a promising additive for accelerating the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP).
