| Summary: | Propellant is a core fuel in defense and aerospace applications. However, conventional hydrazine fuel is highly volatile, toxic, and carcinogenic, resulting in huge threats to the human body and environment. N,N-dimethylethanamine (DMAZ) is a green, high-energy fuel with a low freezing point, high density, high specific impulse, and high combustion rate, and it is a promising substitute of conventional hydrazine fuel. Nevertheless, the industrial application of DMAZ is limited by long ignition delay. In this study, the mechanism of ignition of DMAZ was explored by summarizing current methods to reduce the ignition delay of DMAZ, including the addition of catalyst, fuel formulation, and tuning molecular structure. This study provides references for applications of amine azide. |
