LLNL Scientists Uncover Recipe for Recoverable Carbon Dioxide Polymer as High-Energy Material

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have identified a first-of-its-kind carbon dioxide-equivalent polymer recoverable from high-pressure conditions, promising new energetic materials for propellants and explosives. Published in Communications Chemistry, the discovery uses simulations to reveal a pathway via carbon monoxide and oxygen mixtures. This could unlock high-energy-density materials stable at ambient conditions....
