A review of the literature pertaining to hypergolic fuel systems, particularly using hydrazine or its derivatives and hydrogen peroxide, has been conducted. It has been shown that a large effort has been made towards minimizing the risks involved with the use of a toxic propellant such as the hydrazine. Substitution of hydrazines for nontoxic propellant formulations such as the use of high purity hydrogen peroxide with various types of fuels is one of the major areas of study for future hypergolic propellants. A series of criteria for future hypergolic propellants has been recommended, including low toxicity, wide temperature range applicability, short ignition delay, high specific impulse or density specific impulse, and storability at room temperature.

As an eco-friendly alternative fuel material, ammonium dinitramide (ADN, NH4N(NO2)2) is safe and stable at room temperature; however, it requires high purity for practical applications. A small amount of impurities can retard the catalytic decomposition of the monopropellant in the thruster, lower the specific impulse, and induce side effects such as clogging of the nozzle. Therefore, we purified NH4N(NO2)2 by performing repeated extractions, adsorption by powdered activated carbon, and low-temperature extractions. In this study, we evaluated the chemical density of purified NH4N(NO2)2 through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and ion chromatography, and obtained a final purity of 99.8%. Furthermore, we fabricated a liquid fuel using high-purity NH4N(NO2)2 as the main oxidizing agent, and can be prepared a mono-propellant formulation that exhibited decomposition at a minimum temperature of 148 °C.
