Applying Deep Eutectic Solvent and Solvated Ionic Liquid Concepts to Energetics

Abstract

Although the DES concept was originally employed to provide an understanding of the unique properties of unusual salt/solvent mixtures, it appears to have special relevance to the production of new energetic materials. Solids with extremely high melt points can be combined with neutral materials with moderately high melt points to produce free-flowing liquids with melt points low enough to meet operability requirements for liquid fuels. The weakening, breaking, and rearrangement of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the constituents and even the possibility of new proton-exchanged species seems especially rich, and it is not yet understood what the impacts are for the resulting liquid.
