AbstractA bibliometric analysis of publications on biodiesel (and biodisel blend)-fuelled engine performance research (BBFEPR) was performed. Data of published works (1993–2021) were extracted using the Scopus® database. The network analyses of the obtained data were conducted using VOS Viewer® software to study the citation of journals and scientific papers, co-authorship by organization and country, and co-occurrence of author keywords involved in BBFEPR. A total of 2454 scientific articles (1797 journal articles, 508 conference papers, 130 review papers, and 19 conference review papers) were published concerning the BBFEPR. An increasing trend in publication was observed for the period under consideration. The network analysis revealed that India was the most productive country (with 1419 publications) while the most productive institution was the University of Malaya. The work published by Agarwal in 2007 (2393 citations) and the journal Fuel (11,610 citations) have the highest number of citations. Authors used ‘biodiesel’ followed by ‘combustion’, with 953 and 548 occurrences, respectively, as keywords. Research hotspots focused on biodiesel additives and feedstock development, combustion and performance improvement, and emission reduction strategies. Future research trends centered on the deployment of a magnetic field and nanoparticles to enhance combustion, performance, and emission characteristics; and on the use of nano-catalysts to improve biodiesel production.Keywords: Bibliometric analysisbiodieselcombustiondieselemissionengine performance AcknowledgementsThe assistance of Mrs. O.L. Giwa during the preparation of this manuscript is highly valued.Disclosure statementThe authors declare no conflict of interest.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the determining factors that contribute to the increase in the use of biofuels among Greek consumers. The research tool is a fully structured questionnaire (260 consumers; random sampling) consisting of closed-ended questions with answers on a 5-point Likert scale. Greek consumers do not use biofuels frequently and their knowledge about biofuels is unsatisfactory. The non-demographic factors that exert a statistically significant influence on the levels of use of biofuels are the lower cost of ownership , lower operating costs , better cost–performance ratio compared to other fuels, fewer installation intervention requirements, less environmental impact, easier handling and the consumers’ knowledge about the biofuels. The influence of demographic factors on the use of biofuels by Greek consumers was also examined. The consumer demographics that showed a statistically significant correlation with and influence on the use of biofuels were gender, age, education, and place of permanent residence. Women, older consumers, and those with a higher level of education end up being more positive about using biofuels in their daily lives. Similarly, the state of rural and island areas ends up being more positive, compared to the residents of urban and semi-urban areas.

Abstract The plant microbial fuel cell (PMFC) is an unexpected source of electricity. However, several constraints must be overcome before PMFC can be used as a bioelectricity source. One of the major challenges is to improve electrode performance. In this study, three types of electrodes were tested on PMFC planted with chlorophytum sp, two are made of stainless steel (SS) 436, (SS) 316 and the third is with graphite. The plant with graphite has showed a high tension OCV (400 mV) compared to SS 436 (106 mV) and SS 316 (150 mV), by investing further, the chronoamperometry had shown a more significant current 2 A/m2 with graphite electrode than SS 316 with maximal value 0.12 A/m2 while the SS 436 electrode had metal deterioration, this was later confirmed by a Tafel test, in which SS 436 had the highest current corrosion density. As expected, the maximum current and power densities of PMFC with graphite electrode achieved 20.4 mA/m2 and 37 µW/m2 respectively that were higher than that densities of the PMFC with SS 316 (5.33 mA/m2 and 23 µW/m2) and the PMFC with SS 436 (2.2 mA/m2 and 10.5 µW/m2). According to the finding of this study, graphite was found to be the most suitable electrode material for PMFC application using rhizospheric soil.
