The paradox between safety and detonation performance, along with the intrinsic fragility of
primary explosives, is the main bottleneck precluding their application in a micro-initiation …

Primary explosive, as a reliable initiator for secondary explosives, is the central component
of micro‐initiators for modern aerospace systems and military operations. However, they are …

A porous CuN3 film has been facilely synthesized by a sustainable electroassisted azidation
methodology using the template of porous Cu as a precursor. Such porous CuN3 films show …

The copper-based azide (CA), as a sustainable alternative to currently-used primary
explosives, will play a critical role in the deployment of miniature initiating systems owing to …

Exploring alternatives of lead-containing primary explosives (lead azide, LA; lead styphnate,
LS) has always been a pressing issue in the field of energetic materials. Although some lead …

The development of high-performance initiating explosives through energetic complexes is
