Description

Preparation method of bicyclobutane and application of bicyclobutane as aerospace high-energy fuel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of aerospace fuels, and particularly relates to a preparation method of bicyclobutane and application of bicyclobutane as an aerospace high-energy fuel.
Background
Propellant is an energy source for aerospace vehicles, which are always moving towards ever increasing speeds or loads, and correspondingly, the energy level of the propellant is also increasing. In particular, for carrier rockets, the requirements on the take-off weight are strict, the improvement of the specific impulse of the propellant is important, the specific impulse depends on various factors such as fuel energy, an oxidant matched with the fuel energy, the composition of combustion products and the like, but the improvement of the fuel energy is the most direct method capable of improving the specific impulse.
The high-energy liquid hydrocarbon fuel (high-energy fuel for short) artificially synthesized by a chemical method is basically the same as liquid hydrocarbon fuel (such as aviation kerosene, aerospace kerosene and the like) refined by petroleum, and compared with the aerospace kerosene, the energy of the high-energy fuel is greatly improved, so that the high-energy liquid hydrocarbon fuel has higher heat value.
It can be seen from the molecular structure of hydrocarbons that to obtain higher energy, it is necessary to artificially synthesize hydrocarbons having a small ring structure.
Recent studies have shown that high energy fuel molecules have the following characteristics: the tension ring structure consisting of 3-4 carbons to increase energy (tension energy), higher specific impulse and lower low temperature viscosity is a promising liquid fuel. High-energy fuels are greatly researched in various countries in the world, and the specific flushing ratio of syntin, bicyclopropane ([ n ] ivyane), tetracycloheptane, cubane and the like which are developed at present is improved by several seconds to tens of seconds respectively compared with that of space kerosene. But the syntin and the bicyclo propane are expensive in production cost and are not beneficial to industrial production; the tetracycloheptane has poor thermal stability and cannot be used as a coolant for rocket engines; the normal temperature form of the cubane is solid, which limits the use environment, and the hydrocarbon compounds have various problems in practical application.
