Herein, we demonstrate the use of large-scale reactive molecular dynamics simulations to identify the influence of nanostructures, size effects, and temperature for the decomposition processes of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX). The bulk-phase and six types of HMX nanoparticle (30-70 Å) systems were investigated at two high temperatures (2000 K and 3000 K). The evolution of the potential energy (PE) and total number of molecules (TM) of HMX crystals and their six nanoparticle systems were analyzed and addressed, and it was revealed that the nanostructure has a great accelerative effect on the thermal decomposition of HMX. The temperature distribution, initial decomposition process, and main intermediate and gas products were traced, and showed that the initial decomposition of HMX nanoparticles is triggered by the dissociation of the N-NO bond. With the increase in temperature, the total amount of gas molecules in HMX nanoparticles rapidly increases, which shows that the high temperature can accelerate the decomposition rate for HMX nanoparticles.

Nanogold is an emerging material for enhancing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), which enables the detection of hazardous analytes at trace levels. This study presents a simple, single-step plasma synthesis method to control the size and yield of Au nanoparticles by using plasma-liquid redox chemistry. The pin-based argon plasma reduces the Au precursor in under 5 min, synthesizing Au spherical particles ranging from ∼20 nm at 0.

The reactive molecular dynamics method was employed to examine the thermal decomposition process of aluminized hydride (AlH) containing explosive nanoparticles with a core-shell structure under high temperature. The core was composed of the explosives RDX, HMX, and CL-20, while the shell was composed of AlH. It was demonstrated that the CL-20@AlH NPs decomposed at a faster rate than the other NPs, and elevated temperatures could accelerate the initial decomposition of the explosive molecules.

In the past decades, various methods, such as chemical sensing, X-ray screening, and spectroscopy, have been employed to detect explosives for environmental protection and national public security. However, achieving ultrahigh sensitivity for detection, which is crucial for some practical applications, remains challenging. This study employs scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) to detect individual ∼200 nm explosive nanoparticles of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX).

Polydopamine-based materials have been widely investigated for incorporation in energetic nanocomposites due to their outstanding adherence. However, these materials are often prepared in alkaline environments, which negatively affects Al nanoparticles. In this study, a one-pot assembly was devised for the preparation of a polydopamine-based Al/CuO energetic nanocomposite material (Al/PDA/CuO) in a neutral environment.
