Energetic salts/ionic liquids have received increasing attention as fascinating energetic materials, and the use of renewable compounds is a promising approach to developing energetic materials. Until recently, biomolecules have been used as raw materials to develop neutral energetic compounds, whereas research focused on ionic energetic materials obtained from natural bio-renewable frameworks is scarce. This work systematically investigates ionic bio-energetic materials (IBEMs) derived from sustainable natural amino acids. In addition to combustibility, high density, good thermal stability, and one-step preparation, these IBEMs demonstrated apparent hypotoxicity and insensitivity. Moreover, a theoretical examination was performed to explore their appropriate properties. The intriguing results of this study indicates that IBEMs are potential bio-based energetic materials.

Low-energy excitations play a key role in all condensed-matter systems, yet there is limited understanding of their nature in glasses, where they correspond to local rearrangements of groups of particles. Here, we introduce an algorithm to systematically uncover these excitations up to the activation energy scale relevant to structural relaxation. We use it in a model system to measure the density of states on a scale never achieved before, confirming that this quantity shifts to higher energy under cooling, precisely as the activation energy does.

Primary explosives are generally composed of a metal, energetic ligands and oxyacid anions, and are exploded by optical or thermal initiation pathways to provide energy. Nowadays, near-infrared (NIR) laser initiation is a safe way to ignite explosives to effectively avoid electromagnetic interference. Therefore, low NIR laser sensitivity and high thermal stability are the preconditions for applicable laser-initiated explosives.

Anionic redox has reshaped the conventional way of exploring advanced cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. However, how anions participate in the redox process has been the subject of intensive debate, evolving from electron holes to O-O dimerization and currently to a focus on trapped molecular O based on high-resolution resonant X-ray inelastic scattering research. Here we show that the resonant X-ray inelastic scattering signal of molecular O is not exclusive to Li-rich oxide cathodes, but appears consistently in O-redox-inactive oxide materials even with a short beam exposure time as low as 1 min, indicating that molecular O species are not directly related to voltage hysteresis and voltage decay.

Cluster expansions are commonly employed as surrogate models to link the electronic structure of an alloy to its finite-temperature properties. Using cluster expansions to model materials with several alloying elements is challenging due to a rapid increase in the number of fitting parameters and training set size. We introduce the (eCE) formalism that enables the parameterization of accurate on-lattice surrogate models for alloys containing several chemical species.

Tetrazole-based energetic materials have received extensive attention from researchers due to their high heats of formation and high nitrogen contents. In this work, a novel tricyclic tetrazole compound linked by C-C and C-N bonds was synthesized for the first time, and a series of energetic salts (-) were prepared. In addition, the energetic compound 2,2'-bis(dinitromethyl)-2H,2'H-5,2'-5,5'-tertetrazole () was synthesized by assembling dinitromethyl with tricyclic tetrazole.
