Kinetic Stability and Propellant Performance of Green Energetic Materials [PDF]
AbstractA thorough theoretical investigation of four promising green energetic materials is presented. The kinetic stability of the dinitramide, trinitrogen dioxide, pentazole, and oxopentazole anions has been evaluated in the gas phase and in solution by using high‐level ab initio and DFT calculations.

Evaluating New Liquid Storable Bipropellants: Safety and Performance Assessments
Conventional storable bipropellants make use of hydrazine and its derivatives as fuels and nitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer. In recent years, the toxicity character of these chemicals pushed the propulsion community towards “green” alternatives. Several
