What Role Do Nanoparticles Play in Reducing Emissions?
Nanoparticles play a vital role in reducing emissions by improving the combustion of fuel. The addition of nanoparticles to fuel can lead to more complete combustion, thus reducing the emission of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx). For instance, the inclusion of cerium oxide nanoparticles in diesel fuel enhances oxidation reactions, resulting in lower soot and particulate emissions.
