The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions led to the exploration of alternative fuel strategies for CI engines. Among these strategies, the combination of nano-additives into conventional and alternative fuels gained substantial attention due to their potential to enhance engine performances and decrease emissions. This review critically examined the effects of various nano-additives, such as Al₂O₃, SiO₂, CNTs, and TiO₂ etc, on CI engine performance. The incorporation of nano-additives into diesel, biodiesel, and other alternative fuels showed improvements in combustion efficiency and power output. This paper highlighted the mechanisms by which nano-additives enhance fuel properties, such as improving cetane number, viscosity, density and flash point etc . While the use of nano-additives shows promise in optimizing performance and reducing emissions, further research is required to measure long-term environmental and economic impacts. This review provided a comprehensive evaluation of current findings and identifies future research directions for developing cleaner and more efficient CI engine technologies by using nano-additive-enhance the alternative fuels.
Key words: Nano additives / CI engine / fuel / engine performance / emission characteristics
