The combination of Energetic Ionic Liquid (EIL) “green” fuels and high test peroxide (>90% H2O2; HTP), as a “green” oxidizer, is a very promising platform for the development of fully “green” bipropellants for space exploration. In this work, two new “tandem-action” promoters – [FcCH2N(CH3)3+]2[Cu2I42−] (P1) and [FcCH2N(CH3)3+]n[Cu2I3−]n (P2) – and two reference “single-action” promoters, [FcCH2N(CH3)3+][H3BCN−] (P3) and [CH3N(CH2CH3)3+]n[Cu2I3−]n (P4), were prepared, comprehensively characterized and evaluated for their ability to significantly shorten the Ignition Delay (ID) times of hypergolic reactions between a series of EILs and H2O2. These promoters exhibited high solubility and long-term chemical stability in a typical EIL fuel – 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (F1). Upon screening the performance of promoter–EIL formulations, the best ID result of 31 ms was observed for the combination of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cyanoborohydride (F2) fuel and promoter P2 (10 wt%), with H2O2 (95%), whereas an ID time of 58 ms was observed for the F2/P2 formulation with commercially available H2O2 (70%), respectively. Remarkably, the latter formulation remained fully homogeneous even at −40 °C, and showed an ID time of 66 ms at this temperature with H2O2 (95%), indicating the advantages of our approach for the development of novel fully “green” bipropellants.
