Gaishi Automobile News Vehicle exhaust produced by burning fossil fuels is a major source of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
To reduce air pollution, researchers are studying additives for fuels such as dimethoxymethane (DMM).
But the production of DMM itself can also bring environmental hazards.
, According to foreign media reports, a research team from China demonstrated how a series of phosphorus-modified nanocarbon catalysts promote green DMM production in a paper published in the journal “Carbon Future”.

Studies have shown that mixing DMM with traditional diesel can reduce soot formation by up to 80%.
