Nanofuel adittives

Abstract

Emissions of gas pollutants are a concern nowadays. Among several technologies to avoid their generation, nanofuel additives have shown good performance, increasing brake thermal efficiency, reducing brake-specific fuel consumption, and, in some cases, reducing nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxides by the use of nanofuels as catalysts. This contribution focuses on the production of nanofuel additives and the most recent literature on their performance in combustion engines. Future applications will involve the synthesis of new nanomaterials for nanofuel applications.
