“…Due to the superior physical and chemical properties of PODE, a lot of studies have been conducted in recent years using PODE as a fuel. So far, researchers have utilized and investigated the advantages of PODE in internal combustion through using it as a 100% sole fuel [19,34,35,42,43], blending it with fossil fuel [32,40,[44][45][46][47], and by using advanced combustion technologies such as homogeneous-charge compression ignition (HCCI) [36,45,47], premixed-charge compression ignition (PCCI) [48,49], and reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) [50,51]. The following section details and summarizes the outcomes of these investigations.…”

The most effective way to reduce internal combustion engine emissions is to use a sustainable alternative fuel that contains oxygen molecules. Alternative fuels may be used to address a future global energy crisis. Different oxygenated alternative fuels have been investigated in internal combustion engines. Polyoxymethylene di-methylene ether (PODE), which contains 3–5 CH2O groups, is currently superior in the field of oxygenated fuels due to its physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, using PODE as a fuel does not necessitate any significant engine modifications. When compared to standard diesel fuel, the use of PODE results in near stoichiometric combustion with less hazardous exhaust gas. It also significantly reduces NOx emissions due to the lack of C-to-C bonds. Several articles in the literature were found on the manufacturing and application processes for the production of PODE. However, the current review focuses primarily on simplifying the various production technologies, the physical and chemical properties of PODEn and its advantages and disadvantages in ICEs, PODEn application in internal combustion engines and its characteristics, PODE spray analysis, and measurements of the fuel’s physical and chemical characteristics. This review emphasizes the fact that PODE can be used as a sole fuel or in conjunction with fossil fuels and advanced combustion technologies. Because C-C bonds and higher oxygen molecules are not available, the trade-off relationship between nitrogen oxides and soot production is avoided when PODEn is used as a fuel, and combustion efficiency is significantly improved.

“…However, DME is in a gaseous form under atmospheric conditions, hence handling the fuel is very difficult [18]. In addition, DME fuel easily degrades rubber materials [19]. Hence, the utilization of DME is difficult even though it has more benefits.…”

“…10 The number position of carbon bonds and the C/H ratio dominate the formation process of PM. 11 The various oxygenated additives include alcohols, 12 ethers 13 and esters. 14 The adoption of renewable oxygenated fuel is not only one of the effective measures for engines to achieve low emissions, but also can reduce excessive consumption of fossil energy.…”
