Experimental investigation on the polarity switching process with different operating frequencies of the bipolar ionic liquid thruster
The bipolar ionic liquid thruster employ ionic liquid as propellant to discharge positively and negatively charged high-energy particles under an alternating current(AC) power source, effectively suppressing electrochemical reaction and ensuring charge neutrality. Determining an optimal AC supply power source frequency is critical for sustained stable thruster operation. This study focuses on the emission characteristics of the ionic liquid thruster under varied AC conditions. The AC power supply was set within the frequency range of 0.5 to 64 Hz, with eight specific frequency conditions selected experimentation. The experimental results indicate that the thruster operate steadily within a voltage range of ±1470 to ±1920 V, with corresponding positive polarity current ranging from 0.41 to 4.91 μA and negative polarity current ranging from -0.49 to -4.10 μA. During voltage polarity switching, an emission delay occurs, manifested as a prominent peak signal caused by circuit capacitance characteristics and a minor peak signal resulting from liquid droplets. Extended emission test were conducted at 16 Hz demonstrating approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes of consistent emission before intermittent discharge. These findings underscore the favorable impact of alternating current conditions within the 8 to 16 Hz range on the self-neutralization capability of the ionic liquid thruster.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
