Highly ionic beams of several hundred microampere per squared centimeter have been
measured from porous glass ionic liquid electrospray sources fabricated using a …

A multi-scale approach to electrospray ion source modeling has been developed. The
evolution of a single-emitter electrospray plume in a pure ionic regime is simulated with a …

We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [C2C1im][NTf2] in the presence of …

Ionic liquid ion sources utilize electric fields to evaporate and accelerate ions and ion
clusters to∼ 1 keV energies. Ion clusters may dissociate after evaporation, which is not a …

Electrospray thrusters with small size, high precision specific impulse, low power
consumption are the most recommended propulsive equipments for micro-nano satellites …

Electrospray thrusters are most suitable for micro-nano satellites in advantage of small size,
low power consumption and high specific impulse. However, conventional electrospray …

Ionic size and hydrogen bonding (HB) may play significant roles in controlling ion emission
from HAN (hydroxylamine nitrate)-based ionic liquids (ILs) but have received little attention …

We present a 3D-particle-in-cell (PIC) approach to modeling electrospray plumes typical of
those formed by externally wetted emitter devices. Numerical grid-resolution techniques …

The behavior of nanodroplets of an imidazolium-based dicationic ionic liquid, ie,[C1 (mim)
2][PF6] 2, was investigated in this study using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The …

Liquid thermocells are promising devices for the recovery of low-grade waste heat and its
conversion into electricity. The present study proposes dispersing charged magnetic …
