Abstract
Energetic salts and energetic ionic liquids have been investigated widely in recent years for their properties, such as low vapor pressures and high densities. The synthesis methods of energetic salts and energetic ionic liquids (cations including triazole, tetrazole, bridged azole, hexamethyenetetrammonia, etc; and anions including nitrate, perchlorate, azide, tetranitratealuminate, polycyan anion, TV, TV'-dinitrourea, etc.) are reviewed, and the effects of cations, anions and their substitution groups on melting point, enthalpy of formation, density of the materials are summarized. The applications of these compounds on explosives and propellants are also discussed.
