Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles and application of nanoadditives in diesel fuel: bibliometric analysis

Abstract

The problem of obtaining metal nanoparticles considering environmental risks in connection with the use of synthesis products in mixtures of new types of diesel fuel has been studied. An analysis of existing research on these topics was carried out. Based on the data sets obtained using the Dimensions and OpenAlex services, the characteristics of the studies were determined. To analyze the problem of green synthesis of nanoparticles, a dataset of 6,062 journal articles published from 2001 to October 2023 was used. The use of nanoparticles as diesel fuel components was investigated using a dataset of 540 journal articles published from 2005 to October 2023. The leading countries and organizations by the number of publications and citations have been identified. Based on the analysis of coauthorship, the issue of international cooperation is considered. The most significant publications were determined by the number of citations. Using methods of visual analysis of data on research keywords, their trends and prospects were determined. In addition, an assessment was made of the development of the problem of using “green” methods for obtaining nanoparticles used as components of diesel fuel.
