Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

Oxymethylene ethers (OME x), are a promising renewable replacement fuel for compression
ignition engines. OME x are largely compatible with current engines, can help to significantly …

The nonaqueous rechargeable lithium–O2 battery containing an alkyl carbonate electrolyte
discharges by formation of C3H6 (OCO2Li) 2, Li2CO3, HCO2Li, CH3CO2Li, CO2, and H2O …

Biofuels, such as bio‐ethanol, bio‐butanol, and biodiesel, are of increasing interest as
alternatives to petroleum‐based transportation fuels because they offer the long‐term …

Stability of the electrolyte toward reduced oxygen species generated at the cathode is a
crucial challenge for the rechargeable nonaqueous Li–O2 battery. Here, we investigate …

Two critical steps towards soot production in combustors are the decomposition of the fuel
and the subsequent formation of aromatic hydrocarbons with one to three benzenoid rings …

Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
improve combustion performance and reduce harmful emissions such as soot particles …

Burgeoning global demand for energy has increased concerns about the fuel security issues
and deleterious environmental impacts that result from the ubiquitous use of fossil fuels to …

The autoignition of methyl butanoate has been studied at 1 and 4 atm in a shock tube over
the temperature range 1250–1760 K at equivalence ratios of 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.25 at fuel …

A detailed chemical kinetic model has been used to study methyl butanoate (a model
compound for biodiesel fuels) oxidation over a wide range of conditions. New experimental …
