Progress of synthesis and performance of several energetic triazolium salts as new TNT replacements is systematically reviewed, 4-amino-1, 2, 4-triazolium perchlorate(4-ATP), 1-methyl-4-amino-1, 2, 4-triazolium perchlorate (MATP) and 1-amino-3-methyl-1, 2, 3-triazolium nitrate(1-AMTN) are the best candidates to replace TNT, and the research field in the future for these energetic triazolium salts have been prospected.
