It has been introduced several ways for rising fuel burning rate. Using catalyzers is a common way to rising fuel burning rate. Cu-Chromite catalyzer used in solid fuels, as burning rate catalyzer in thermal decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate and results were satisfying. This catalyzer is produced by several methods such as: ceramic, coprecipitating, sol-gel, vacuum depositioning, but this paper explains producing catalyzer by Citrate sol-gel. Thermal analysis is used for studying process also SEM, XRD, TEM, FTIR tests used for determination of particle sizes.
