| Summary: | Energetic materials that can store and rapidly release large amounts of chemical energy on demand play a vital role in both military and civilian fields. Modern energetic materials should have high density, high heat of formation and possess molecular stability that allow them to be manufactured, stored and handled safely. Recently, cocrystallization technology offers a promising platform for energetic materials to achieve a desired balance between high detonation performance and low sensitivity. This paper highlights recent developments of energetic cocrystals and details intermolecular interactions, physical parameters and detonation properties. The major part of the discussion relates to the different types of energetic cocrystals including cocrystals composed of energetic molecules and solvents, 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20)-based cocrystals and azole-based cocrystals,
et al.
In addition, resonant acoustic mixing (RAM) technique, bead milling and spray flash evaporation technique are also introduced as means for large-scale production of nanosized energetic cocrystals.
Cocrystallization technology offers a promising platform for energetic materials to achieve a desired balance between high detonation performance and low sensitivity. This paper highlights the up-to-date progress of energetic cocrystals. |

| Bibliography: | Jiaheng Zhang obtained his Ph. D. with Professor Haixiang Gao at the China Agricultural University, Beijing, in 2013. From 2012-2015, he was a member of the group of Professor Jean'ne M. Shreeve at the University of Idaho as a visiting scholar and subsequently, as a postdoctoral fellow. He was awarded the prestigious Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) fellowship at Yokohama National University in 2015. In 2016, he commenced carrying out independent research in Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen). His research interests include ionic liquid chemistry and energetic materials. Jean'ne M. Shreeve is a Montana native. She received a B. A. in chemistry at the University of Montana, an M. S. in analytical chemistry at the University of Minnesota, and a Ph. D. in inorganic chemistry at the University of Washington, Seattle. She has been at the University of Idaho since 1961 where she has served as chemistry department head and vice president for research and graduate studies. In 2011, Shreeve was named a University Distinguished Professor. Her research interests include the design, syntheses, characterization, and reactions of energetic materials, fluorine-containing compounds, and energetic ionic liquids.
