Ammonium perchlorate(AP) and LiBH 4 can form an oxidation‐fuel energetic system, which provides a new development direction in designing novel mixed explosive formula. The microcalorimetry and self‐designed slow cook‐off setup were used to study thermal performance of AP/LiBH 4 energetic powders and grains respectively. Experimental results show that heat release in microcalorimetry method for the mixed system at low temperature was due to the reaction between LiBH 4 and residual water vapour. The oxidant gases from AP decomposition participate in the oxidation of LiBH 4 at high temperature. The ignition temperature for the AP/LiBH 4 grain was 270 °C and the explosion reactions were violent in slow cook‐off test.
