Pre-chamber jet ignition is a promising combustion technology to achieve fast combustion in natural gas engines. First, the ignition and combustion characteristics of mixtures in a pre-chamber system with different diameter orifices were studied under engine-relevant pressures and temperatures in a rapid compression machine. The tested fuels, CH4/air stoichiometric mixtures, were diluted by different proportions of CO2/N2 to simulate the corresponding exhaust gas recirculation conditions in engines. High-speed photography was applied to visualize the jet ignition and combustion processes. The experimental results revealed that two ignition patterns existed in the pre-chambers depending on the diameter of orifices. Pre-chamber jet flame ignition pattern appeared when the orifice diameter of the pre-chamber exceeded a critical value, which produced jet flame and ignited the mixtures in the main chamber directly. Pre-chamber jet auto-ignition pattern produced jet which promoted the auto-ignition of mixture in the main chamber when the orifice diameter was smaller and presented much shorter combustion durations. Based on the experimental results in the rapid compression machine, a practical pre-chamber system was designed in a single-cylinder natural gas engine to investigate the combustion performance and emission characteristics. The experimental results indicated appropriate 0.8%–1.4% increases of indicated thermal efficiency were achieved by pre-chamber jet ignition due to the higher combustion efficiency and shorter combustion duration compared to conventional spark ignition. Lower total hydrocarbon and CO emissions but higher NO x emissions were produced by pre-chamber jet ignition due to the faster burning velocity and higher combustion temperature.

Hypergolic materials, capable of spontaneous ignition upon contact with an external oxidizer, are of critical importance as fuels and propellants in aerospace applications (e.g., rockets and spacecraft). Currently used hypergolic fuels are highly energetic, toxic, and carcinogenic hydrazine derivatives, inspiring the search for cleaner and safer hypergols. Here, we demonstrate the first strategy to design hypergolic behavior within a metal-organic framework (MOF) platform, by using simple “trigger” functionalities to unlock the latent and generally not recognized energetic properties of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, a popular class of MOFs. The herein presented six hypergolic MOFs, based on zinc, cobalt, and cadmium, illustrate a uniquely modular platform to develop hypergols free of highly energetic or carcinogenic components, in which varying the metal and linker components enables the modulation of ignition and combustion properties, resulting in excellent hypergolic response evident by ultrashort ignition delays as low as 2 ms.
