“…265 A later report shows that GO sheets exhibited a better desensitizing effect than C 60 and CNTs. 166 When 2 wt% GO sheets are added, the impact sensitivity of as-prepared HMX decreases from 100% to 10% and the friction sensitivity reduces from 100% to 32%.…”

“…On the one hand, GO and rGO act as space-qualified lubricants, which strongly improve the low-temperature performance of hypergolic ionic liquids by reduction of their viscosity. 166 However, matching the type of graphene to the specific ionic-liquid functionality is very important in achieving the optimum performance. On the other hand, GO and rGO enhance the ignition and burning properties of hypergolic ionic liquids.…”

“…As a result, they have found potential applications as electrodes for actuators, [282,283] sensors, [284] supercapacitors, [285,286] Because graphene and SWCNTs share very similar physicochemical features, such as the conjugated electronic structure and surface properties, the approach that has been adopted to prepare solubilized CNTs is also extended to graphene.

Instead of being seen as alternative solvents and electrolytes for organic reactions, catalysis, separation, electrochemistry, and so on, ionic liquids (ILs) consisting of discrete cations and anions have recently emerged as versatile building blocks for advanced functional materials. A number of functional ILs and IL-containing composite materials have been realized by either chemical modification (covalent functionalization or ion-exchange metathesis) or physical integration of ILs and traditional materials. The unique structure and behavior of ILs as a platform not only provides additional opportunities to adjust the physicochemical properties of these ionic materials for task-specific applications, but also offers other attractive features such as intrinsic ionic conductivity and high thermal, chemical, and electrochemical stability. These soft materials combine the favorable features of ILs and the original chemistries of the functional groups or materials; some even possess unexpected functions resulting from synergetic interaction between these two components. Materialization of ILs is truly a novel, promising research direction for both IL chemistry and materials science. In this article, we review recent advances in IL-based functional materials, focusing on smart and sensitive materials, optical materials, energetic materials, and IL/carbon hybrid materials.

“…The combination of XPS, IR, and zeta potential results showed that strong interactions exist between boron and ionic liquids, in which a strongly bound layer that is dense enough to protect the boron surfaces from air oxidation exists on the surface of boron nanoparticles 23. In addition, others have demonstrated that the dispersions of graphene or graphene oxide in the hypergolic ionic liquids can significantly depress the viscosities of ionic liquids, thereby leading to improved lower temperature hypergolic performance but with a concomitant small increase in the ignition delay time 24. More interestingly, the type of graphene surface can lead to dramatically different viscosity and ignition behavior.…”

Use of green propellants is a trend for future space propulsion. Hypergolic ionic liquid propellants, which are environmentally-benign while exhibiting energetic performances comparable to hydrazine, have shown great potential to meet the requirements of developing nontoxic high-performance propellant formulations for space propulsion applications. This Concept article presents a review of recent advances in the field of ionic liquid propellants.
