Nanotechnology offers several promising solutions to tackle engine emissions:
1. Catalysts: Nanotechnology can improve catalytic converters by creating catalysts with a higher surface area-to-volume ratio. This enhances their efficiency in converting harmful gases into less harmful substances. 2. Fuel Additives: Nanoparticles can be added to fuel to enhance combustion efficiency, resulting in reduced emissions. 3. Emission Filters: Nano-filters can capture particulate matter more effectively than traditional filters, reducing the amount of soot and other particles released into the atmosphere.
