| description | The ionic liquid–hydrogen peroxide propellant system has emerged as a promising green propellant candidate, synergistically combining the unique advantages of ionic liquids (such as negligible vapor pressure, low melting points, high thermal stability and structural tunability) with the merits of hydrogen peroxide (including high density, low volatility, minimal viscosity, reduced corrosivity, and environmentally benign decomposition products). In this work, we provide a comprehensive review of the synthesis strategies and ignition performance of the ionic liquid–hydrogen peroxide propellant system, systematically categorizing them into two classes: “self-igniting propellants” and “promoter-dependent propellants”. This review emphasizes the critical role of anion-specific design and catalytic engineering in advancing the performance of ionic liquid–hydrogen peroxide propellant systems, while also addressing the current challenges and future directions in this rapidly evolving field. |
