“…The torsion pendulum method, a commonly used technique was employed to comprehensively compare and quantify the LMP performance parameters of different materials. [25,[51][52][53][54] The experimental setup and working principle of the torsion pendulum measuring system are depicted in Figure 3A. The measurements were conducted under vacuum conditions, with the vacuum box evacuated to 15 kPa.…”

“…These properties allow SETs to achieve higher I sp while facing challenges such as increased absorption coefficients, elevated thermal conductivity, and higher laser ablation thresholds, resulting in a lower C m . [24][25][26] To address these limitations, researchers have explored the incorporation of SET dopants, such as metal or carbon nanoparticles, into polymers to enhance laser absorption and overall propulsion performance (Figure S2, Supporting Information). [15,27,28] Although dopants enhance laser absorption and generate localized high temperatures, the disparity in laser ablation thresholds and the melting/boiling points between the polymer matrix and single-element particles hinder the complete decomposition and ionization during the LMP Figure 1.…”

Conventional propellant materials, such as polymers and single metal elements, have long been investigated for their potential in pulsed laser micropropulsion (LMP) technology. However, achieving superior LMP efficiency through physical mixing of these materials remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present a paradigm shift by introducing porous crystalline polymers, known as Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOFs), as novel propellants in pulsed LMP. MOFs are composed of metal cations and organic ligands that form ordered structures through coordination, eliminating the problem of local hot zones arising from uneven physical mixing encountered in LMP. In direct comparison to conventional polymers and single element targets, MOFs exhibit substantially higher LMP efficiency. By precisely tailoring the metal atom fraction within MOFs, an extraordinary ultrahigh efficiency of 51.15% is achieved in pulsed LMP, surpassing the performance of similar materials previously reported in the literature. This pioneering application of MOFs not only revolutionizes the field of laser micropropulsion but also opens up new frontiers for MOF utilization in various energy applications.This article is protected by copyright.

“…To further increase the viscosity and enhance the laser absorption, carbon black often serves as an absorber, and images reveal that the splashing is almost eliminated as indicated in Refs. [5] and [11]. However, a maximum carbon content only up to 5% has been considered in previous studies and a specific impulse of only a few seconds was obtained.…”

“…Propellants including metals, polymers, liquids, and other compound materials have been extensively investigated. [4][5][6] A relatively low laser intensity is required for solid propellants, and a high specific impulse, accompanied with a low coupling coefficient, is easily obtained. In the case of liquid propellants, severe splashing occurs and a very low specific impulse of only a few seconds is generated, accompanied by a high coupling coefficient.…”

A solid-like propellant of carbon-doped glycerol ablated by a nanosecond pulsed laser is investigated. The results show that the specific impulse increases with increasing carbon content, and a maximum value of 228 s is obtained. The high specific impulse is attributed to the low ablated mass loss that occurs at high carbon content. More importantly, with increasing carbon content, the properties of the doped glycerol approach to those of a solid. These results indicate that propulsion at the required coupling coefficient and specific impulse can be realized by doping a liquid propellant with an absorber.

“…In laser plasma propulsion, liquid propellants are considered as optimal materials because they significantly enhance the thrust compared with the solid target materials. [1][2][3][4][5] And many experiments have been performed to investigate the interaction of the laser pulses with liquids and liquid-containing materials. [6][7][8][9] For all liquid materials, however, a serious splashing behavior results in a very low specific impulse.…”

The characteristics of droplets ejected from liquid glycerol doped with carbon are investigated in laser ablation propulsion. Results show that carbon content has an effect on both the coupling coefficient and the specific impulse. The dopedcarbon moves the laser focal position from the glycerol interior to the surface. This results in a less consumed glycerol and a high specific impulse. An optimal propulsion can be realized by varying carbon content in glycerol.
