It is evident from the review that soot is a responsible agent for adverse health effects, which
may exceed PM 2.5. The CC and outer coating have been proved to exert toxicity …

The active cooling technology based on endothermic hydrocarbon fuels can cause serious
coking problems. Ammonia addition inhibits the coke formation at the mild fuel cracking …

Knowledge of reliable geometries and associated intermolecular interaction energy (ΔE)
values at key fragments of the potential energy surface (PES) in the gas phase is …

Based on quantum mechanically guided experiments that observed elusive intermediates in
the domain of inception that lies between large molecules and soot particles, we provide a …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are formed invariably through oxidative and
pyrolytic degradation of organic materials and fuels. Understanding the highly complex …

This work combined experimental measurements with two theoretical approaches, reactive
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and Quantum Mechanics (QM) calculations, to …

The addition of sp-carbon-containing molecules to polycyclic sp3 tetrahedrane (c-C4H4)
results in the formation of both o-benzyne (c-C6H4) and benzene (c-C6H6). Since both c …

Understanding the dynamics of soot-formation pathways is crucial for the foreseeable
advancement of gasoline engines, which depend on optimizing a complex array of …

Pulsed laser ablation in liquids has become a simple, fast, and environmentally friendly
method for the synthesis of carbon nanostructures since it does not require the use of toxic …

Reversible dimerization of coronene is implemented into a hybrid method of moment based
soot model and used with a newly generated reduced mechanism for ethylene combustion …
