New Ionic Liquids for Propellants
• Alumino-cyanoborohydride anions
‒ Bipropellant fuel approach with high
hydrogen content & large ∆Hcombustion
‒ Hypergolic
• Additives to control energy and
physical properties of ionic liquids

11
Mechanism of CO2 Reduction
• Why is rhenium-based catalyst
efficient at CO2 reduction to CO?
‒ hydride reduction is energetically
favored, but CO2 reduction dominates
• Make, model, measure approach
‒ Synthesis
‒ DFT studies
‒ X-ray probing
• Oxidation state is Re0(bpy)-1. Ligands
are actively involved in bonding
• HOMO permits σ-bonding and
π -bonding; favors CO2 binding
• Understanding mechanism permits
ways to find alternative catalysts with
similar electronic structure (Mn).

Jet Fuel Heating by Hot Gases
• Understanding fundamental
processes in fuel droplets:
‒ Heating (energy transfer)
‒ Reactions
‒ Evaporation
• To model this process, we
direct hot O2 molecules at
liquid dodecane in vacuum
‒ Enabled by liquid microjets
• O2 molecules transfer ~2/3
of their energy upon collision
with dodecane.
‒ Rapidly heats surface of
the droplet
‒ Fuel evaporation is not
limited by gas-liquid
collisions, but by heat
transfer in the gas phase.

The Last Leap of a Gas Atom
Off the Surface of a Liquid
“Squeezing”
• He atoms dissolved in
dodecane evaporate with
kinetic energies much higher
than expected.
• Fast He atoms “zoom”
ballistically off the surface after
moving through fluctuating
gaps between molecules.
‒ Squeezing
‒ Slipping
‒ Swatting
• He atoms are expelled from
the surface before they can
thermally re-equilibrate.
• Learn how different
components of jet fuel mix with
each other and alter the
motions of gas molecules
