Abstract
Finding new high-energy-density materials with desired properties has been intensely-pursued in recent decades. However, the contradictory relationship between high energy and low mechanical sensitivity makes the innovation of insensitive high-energy-density materials an enormous challenge. Here, we show how a materials genome approach can be used to accelerate the discovery of new insensitive high-energy explosives by identification of "genetic" features, rapid molecular design, and screening, as well as experimental synthesis of a target molecule, 2,4,6-triamino-5-nitropyrimidine-1,3-dioxide. This as-synthesized energetic compound exhibits a graphite-like layered crystal structure with a high measured density of 1.95 g cm-3, high thermal decomposition temperature of 284 °C, high detonation velocity of 9169 m s-1, and extremely low mechanical sensitivities (impact sensitivity, >60 J and friction sensitivity, >360 N). Besides the considered system of six-member aromatic and hetero-aromatic rings, this materials genome approach can also be applicable to the development of new high-performing energetic materials.
