AB  - High energy density materials (HEDM) are the subject of an extensive research 
      effort in relation to the use of these compounds as components of rocket 
      propellants, powders, and formulations of high-performance explosives. 
      Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW, i.e., CL-20) has received much attention in 
      these research fields for its specific impulse, burning rate, ballistics, and 
      detonation velocity. In this paper, the development and performances of the 
      explosives from the first to the fourth generation are briefly summarized, and 
      the synthesis status of the fourth-generation explosive, HNIW, is reviewed. The 
      key issues that restrict the development of industrial amplification synthesis of 
      HNIW are analyzed, and the potential directions of development are proposed. It 
      is pointed out that to synthesize new and efficient catalysts is the key to 
      making the cost-effective manufacturing of CL-20 a reality.
