Good Day Everyone,
I am trying to prepare CNT and CeO2 nano-fuel. I have read many articles, in some articles water and powder surfactant are used while in some articles ethanol or span 80 and tween 80 mixture are used for nanofuel preparation. Actually, I have already tried Sodium dodecyl surfactant (powder) for preparing CNT naofuel using water, ethanol, and direct in fuel. Without water nanofuel become thick, with water slightly dense and with ethanol fuel is looking good.
Is replacing water with ethanol in nano fuel preparation method good option?
Now I am thinking to avoid powder surfactants to avoid any increment in viscosity. I have read articles on the mixture of span80 and tween80 surfactants but I could not understand why they have mixed surfactants.
I kindly request all of you please suggest your valuable opinion to prepare nano fuel.
Thank you.
