Metal fuels are attractive for solid/hybrid rocket propulsion and energy-conversion
applications, because of their high energy densities. Boron powder (B), due to its high …

In the past two to three decades, ionic liquids (ILs) have been one of the most exciting
scientific discoveries in chemical science. Nowadays, the most accepted definition of an IL is …

Abstract High-energy-density (HED) liquid fuels are critical for volume-limited aerospace
vehicles to extend the flight range and increase the payload, and can be used as an …

A solid-fuel ramjet engine powered by boron carbide (B 4 C) can generate nearly the same
amount of energy as boron. However, the inherent oxide layer on the B 4 C surface restricts …

Energetic metal or metalloid particles are considered to be potential secondary energy
source for energy generation and propulsion. This is mainly due to their higher gravimetric …

Ionic liquids, as reaction media, and sonochemistry are two recently develo** fields of
chemistry that present some similarities. Firstly, they constitute separately unconventional …

propellants, which are environmentally‐benign while exhibiting energetic performances …

Energetic ionic liquids (EILs) are a subset of the rapidly growing field of ionic liquid research.
These liquid and stable high-energy materials (HEMs) have many benefits, ranging from …

To improve the stability and fluorescence (FL) of monoelemental boron nanomaterials, this
work put forward a metal-coordination strategy to explore emerging metal-doped boron …

In propellant systems, the most common bipropellants are composed of two chemicals, a
fuel (or reducer) and an oxidizer. Currently, the choices for propellant fuels rely mainly on …
