Tetrazole-based energetic materials have the advantages of high nitrogen content, high density, good thermal stability and large gas production.It summarized and reviewed the progresses of study about the synthesis, performance and application of N, N-bis(1(2)H-tetrazol-5-yl)amine(H₂BTA) and its nonmetallic salt compounds and metallic complexes.It suggested:(1) the compounds aiming at more nitrogen, oxygen atoms and coordinated oxygen within molecule are designed to improve the oxygen balance and improve the density.(2) choosing the compounds with easy preparation, simple structure and excellent performance as research target, or the application research of in the field of insensitive high energy explosives, solid propellants, initiating explosive device and novel gas generating agent.
