How to improve the combustion efficiency and reduce harmful emissions has been a hot research topic in the engine field and related disciplines. Researchers have found that nano-additives to diesel-biodiesel fuel blends have achieved significant results. Many research results and both current and previous studies on nanoparticles have shown that nano-additives play an essential role in improving the performance of internal combustion engines and reducing the emission of harmful substances. This paper summarizes the recent research progress of nanoparticles as additives for diesel-biodiesel fuel blends. Firstly, the excellent properties of nanoparticles are described in detail, and the preparation methods are summarized and discussed. Secondly, the effects of several commonly used nanoparticles as diesel-biodiesel fuel blends on combustion performance and harmful substances emissions in terms of combustion thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, CO, UHC and NOx, are reviewed. Finally, the effects of nano-additives on internal combustion engines, the environment and human health are discussed. The work carried out in this paper can effectively contribute to the application of nanomaterials in the fuel field. Based on our work, the researchers can efficiently select suitable nano-additives that enable internal combustion engines to achieve efficient combustion and low-emission characteristics.

“…The ID was decreased by 15%–17% for diesel‐palm kernel biodiesel blend (B20) with the inclusion of Al 2 O 3 NP at a dosage level of 100 ppm 144 . Similarly, ID for the B20 blend of tamarind seed biodiesel was also decreased with the addition of Al 2 O 3 NP at dosage levels of 30 and 60 ppm 42 . Usage of Al 2 O 3 NP decreased ID of water‐biodiesel emulsion 39 .…”

Biodiesel has emerged as a promising renewable fuel, which can help reduce dependency on fossil fuel and has potentiality to replace petrodiesel partially. Usage of biodiesel results in decreased carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and particulate matter emission. However, it has some drawbacks such as increased nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission, lower calorific value, and poor engine performance, which restrict wide usage of biodiesel as a potential substitute in compression ignition engine. There is a scope to overcome these problems by applying metal based nanoparticles (NPs) as fuel additive. This article reviews the preparation and stability of nanofluid and the effect of metal based NPs on fuel properties, combustion, performance, and emission characteristics. It has been concluded that inclusion of nanoadditives increases cetane number and calorific value of blended fuel. According to the most authors, metal based NP doped biodiesel blend enhances ignition characteristics, improves engine performance, and reduces emissions including NOx compared to biodiesel blend without additive. However, some concerns and challenges identified in this article need to be addressed to make this technology feasible for commercial application in near future.

“…BTE of the CuO nanoparticle doped B20 blend was higher by about 2.66%, 7.69%, and 1.18% for B20N25, B20N50, and B20N75 blends, respectively, when compared to B20. This could be due to the catalytic activity of nanoparticles which promotes the atomization of fuel droplets [31], further resulting in an increased rate of evaporation and a drop in physical delay leading to an increase in combustion efficiency and higher BTE. Nanoparticles also have a higher surface area-tovolume ratio which could possibly influence the rate of heat transfer inside the engine cylinder [32].…”
