Abstract
Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is a green oxidizer that has the potential of replacing ammonium perchlorate in solid propellants and hydrazine in liquid propellants. ADN can also be used in gun propellants. Therefore, research continues to be carried out on ways to incorporate ADN in propellant compositions. Consequently, it is imperative that stable storage systems for ADN are put in place before it can be safely used in any of the aforementioned applications. The present paper gives a short review of the prospects and challenges with respect to the stable storage of ADN, such as high hygroscopicity, autocatalytic decomposition, photosensitivity, and the effect of impurities. These challenges, if mitigated, can lead to stable long-term storage of ADN.
