Zhenzhan Yan et al.

Summary: In this study, a carbon-based lead azide with a carbon shell coating (LA/C) was prepared using a lead-containing MOF as the precursor material.

High-speed photography of the initiation process showed that LA/C has a very short initiation time (less than 1 ms) and excellent detonation ability. The properties of LA/C were found to be better than those of previously reported pure LA and most modified LA materials. These findings provide a new perspective for synthesizing high-performance carbon-based primary explosives with a core-shell structure.
