Replacement of Toxic Hydrazines in Satellite Propulsion with Greener Dinitramide‐based Energetic Ionic Liquid Candidates

27.03.2024

Satellite propulsion uses liquid mono or bi-propellants composed of a hydrazine in combination with a strong oxidant. However, hydrazines are highly toxic. As a result, many research efforts for more environmentally compatible propellants have been made over the past decade. In this study we evidence green formulations that retain high propulsive performances. They are based on the dinitramide anion. From an initial library of 37 ammonium dinitramides 3 best candidates were selected after evaluation of their potential syntheses, calculated theoretical performances, experimental synthesis optimizations and decomposition temperatures. These three salts were then formulated to obtain acceptable sensitivities and melting points, which eventually led to only one formulation being retained: a 40:60 mixture of dimethylammonium dinitramide and ammonium dinitramide phlegmatized by 10% of glycerol.
