The application research on tetrazine-based energetic compounds is one of the research hot spots in the energetic material fields at home and abroad in recent years.Based on summarizing the physico-chemical properties,thermal properties,sensitivity properties and detonation properties of some typical tetrazine-based energetic compounds,the research progress in applications of tetrazine-based energetic compounds in micro-thrust system,low signature propellants,composite explosives and other fields is reviewed.The research results at home and abroad show that,when the tetrazine-based energetic compounds are used in propellants,they can effectively increase the burning rate and decrease the signature;when the tetrazine-based energetic compounds are used in composite explosives,they can decrease the sensitivity and increase the detonation properties;when the tetrazine-based energetic compounds are used in gas generating agents,they can decrease the burning temperature and increase the gas generating volume.Therefore,they have wide application prospects in the energetic material field.
