Internal combustion engines have been significantly improving in the past decade, after the adoption of technologies such as Gasoline Direct Injection, mild electrification, downsizing and turbocharging. The OSU EcoCAR prototype vehicle features an extended-range electric architecture with a downsized 1.8L —Skarke et al.

Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. Co-Optima is definitely not seeking to develop new conversion pathways, but is relying on what has already been done. —Robert Wagner.

Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions. Downsizing is an important strategy applicable in combination with technologies that increase engine torque, such as turbocharging or supercharging. Part of the gain from advanced-level CI diesel engines comes from downsizing.

Several approaches have been implemented to reduce the usage of Pt, such as dispersing the promising candidates for efficient and clean energy conversion. As the limit in downsizing metal morphology, the concept of single-atom catalysts (SACs) has emerged since it maximizes the exposed atom efficiency. Credit: ACS, Zhang et al.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. It is much more than that. Smaller and lighter, it requires less liquid fuel.
