The catalytic activity of graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), copper nanoparticles (CuNP) and rGO supported copper nanoparticles (rGO|CuNP) was investigated for the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP). GO was synthesized using a methodology based on hydrophilic oxidation, while an environmentally friendly and non-toxic reducing agent, L-ascorbic acid, was applied for the in situ reduction of copper and GO. The supporting rGO reduced the mean size of the copper nanoparticles from approximately 6 to 2 angstrom due to the presence of stabilizing functional groups on the graphitic structure. Theoretical studies through Density Functional Theory revealed the important role of the epoxy and carbonyl groups of rGO on the stabilization of copper. The thermal decomposition process was studied based on DSC and TGA. GO, and rGO did not show a significant catalytic influence in the decomposition of AP. CuNP reduced the decomposition temperature of AP in greater magnitude than rGO|CuNP however, the synergistic effect of the rGO and CuNP increased the energy release significantly.
