The high current deuteron RFQ has been developed and widely used in many projects, especially for accelerator based neutron source and its application. This paper reviews not only the recent developments in the world wide, also presents the beam dynamics, structure design ,RF full power test, beam commissioning of PKUNIFTY, which is consisted of a high current very compact ECR source, a 201.5MHz four-rod deuteron RFQ, thicker beryllium target and its moderating, collimation and neutron radiography system. RF and beam commissioning with duty cycle of 4% show the RFQ inter-vane voltage reaches 70kV at about 240kW, the delivered deuteron peak beam current is about 12mA at 290kW with the beam transmission of about 60%. The improvement of transmission is going on. The initial neutron radiography commissioning has been carried out. The results will promote the future development of small accelerator based neutron source.
