Here we report on unexpected oscillations in current observed during a step potential electrochemical spectroscopy (SPECS) study of manganese dioxide and nickel hydroxide electrodes in an alkaline electrolyte, conditions traditionally considered as a battery system, although more often now associated with electrochemical capacitors. These oscillations in current were observed at short times (<0.5 s) after each potential step in the SPECS experiment and were modelled in a similar fashion to a damped harmonic oscillator. They were associated with capacitive processes in the electrode because of their response time and were interpreted in terms of the competition between the rates of charge transfer and surface charge dissipation from the three-phase boundary between the electroactive material, the conductive additive and the electrolyte in the electrode. The presence of current oscillations in fundamentally insightful but detracts from the overall performance of these electrodes.

Biodiesel is regarded as a significant alternative fuel to petrodiesel due to its excellent combustion features and renewable character. The water content in the reactant mixtures needs to be considered so as to retard the conversion rate and it is suggested to be kept as low as possible. The fluid characteristics of biodiesel might be affected by initial water content; however, the optimum ratio of water content added to raw oil for achieving superior fluid characteristics of biodiesel has not yet been studied. Hence, this study empirically investigated the influences of the initial water content added to raw feedstock oil on the fluid characteristics of biodiesel. The experimental results show that an adequate amount of water content in the reactant mixture was found effective for improving the transesterification reaction and, in turn, the fluid characteristics. The biodiesel made from raw oil with 0.05 wt. % water content added was observed to bear the lowest water content, acid value, and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) and, therefore, superior fluidity at low temperatures. The lower CFPP of biodiesel is attributed to its more unsaturated fatty acids and lower iodine value. In addition, the biodiesel produced from feedstock oil with 0.02 wt. % water added was observed to have the lowest iodine value but the highest kinematic viscosity. The optimum content of initial water added to palm oil for superior fluid characteristics of the biodiesel product is thus suggested to be in the range between 0.02 wt. % and 0.05 wt. %.

“…Moreover, it is widely recognized that the majority of the electricity consumed is derived from fossil fuels, which are rapidly depleting and emitting dangerous emissions [4][5][6]. As a result, increasing air pollution has opened the door to the threat of extinction of many habitats that have been part of our global ecosystem for thousands and millions of years [7,8]; it also plays a great role in causing many diseases such as cancer, lung disease, and respiratory symptoms for children [9][10][11][12]. Therefore, scientists have decided to use new technologies to produce clean and environmental gasoline, such as ethanol injection, nanotechnology, etc.…”

Utilization of Selected Nanoparticles (Ag2O and MnO2) for the Production of High-Quality and Environmental-Friendly Gasoline

Nowadays, the devastating effects of the pollutants produced by gasoline are known well. As a result, scientists are looking for a better formula to replace the gasoline currently in use. Using different additives has been one of the strategies developed throughout the years. However, because certain compounds damage the environment and human life, researchers must now choose which additives to use. The primary goal of this work is to test a gasoline combination with nano-additives Ag2O and MnO2 in a 4-stroke vehicle engine (Fiat 128) and to investigate the influence of novel mixes on the efficiency of combustion rates and the amount of target pollutant gas released (CO, NOx, and the exhaust temperature). The tests were carried out at three different engine speeds: 2000, 2500, and 2900 rpm. At the end of the test, the 0.05% concentration of Ag2O nano-additive was chosen as the best sample, which increases engine performance in gasoline combustion rates and minimizes harmful gas emissions. Furthermore, CO and NOx emissions were lowered by 52% and 35%, respectively, according to EURO 6, indicating a considerable reduction in mortality rates and costs. Finally, a new mechanism was observed using Ag2O nanoparticles, leading to a reduction in CO and CO2 at the same time.
