  • High-performing stable green replacements for ammonium perchlorate
    Patent number: 9309266
    Abstract: A highly energetic, high-oxygen carrier suitable as high-performing green replacement for ammonium perchlorate includes halogen-free ionic salts consisting of fuel cations and over-oxidized anions containing multiple nitro- or nitromethyl-substituted azolyl ligands. The over-oxidized anions include a central atom selected from the group consisting of boron, aluminum, or gallium. Characteristically, the carrier has sufficient amounts of oxygen for complete or near complete combustion of the over-oxidized anions, the fuel cations, metal additives and binders.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2016
    Assignee: University of Southern California
