Research progress of energetic coordination complexes with laser ignition performance

In recent years, laser ignition technology has aroused great attention due to its advantages of simple operation, high safety and strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability. One of the key factors for developing laser ignition technology is hunting for laser-ignitable energetic materials with high performance. The development of energy coordination complexes (ECCs) as novel laser ignition materials has attracted increasing attention due to their controllable structure and properties. In the past decade, significant research progress has been made in laser ignition ECCs. In this review, the recent progress of laser-ignitable ECCs have been summarized, the chemical composition, structure, stability and laser ignition ability of ECCs was discussed. This review could provide guidance for the development of laser-ignitable ECCs with excellent performance.
