Abstract Ion thruster is a widely used electric thruster. The grid is used in ion thrusters to draw out ions and accelerate them to generate thrust, and it is a key component that determines the performance as well as reliability of the ion thruster. Recently, the materials used to prepare the grid have been transitioned from metal materials such as molybdenum to carbon-based materials, especially C/C composite materials with better thermal stability and resistance to ion sputtering, which are ideal grid candidates for large load-bearing, long-life and high-stability ion thrusters. A few countries have developed C/C composite grids and achieved interstellar flight. In fact, China still uses molybdenum as the major grid material and the application of C/C composite grids engineering is still blank. This review mainly summarizes the development status of grid materials, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various grid materials, and discusses the manufacturing technology of C/C composite grids in various countries.
