A dual-chamber onboard electrolysis system is configured to produce HHO gas for heavy duty trucking applications.

A dual-chamber electrolysis vessel safely stores HHO gas for use by an internal combustion engine.

Timing of HHO gas injection into a 4-stroke engine is optimized based on engine operating parameters to improve fuel economy.

Provided is a CO.sub.2 recovery device of an internal combustion engine capable of efficiently recovering CO.sub.2 emitted from an internal combustion engine or CO.sub.2 in the air, and of efficiently synthesizing methane using CO.sub.2. A CO.sub.2 recovery device of an internal combustion engine includes a CO.sub.2 capturing material disposed at a through channel of gas including CO.sub.2 to capture CO.sub.2 in the gas, and methanation catalyst to let CO.sub.2 desorbed from the CO.sub.2 capturing material react with H.sub.2 obtained from a H.sub.2 supply source to generate methane. The CO.sub.2 recovery device has a function to raise temperature of the CO.sub.2 capturing material using heat generated from the internal combustion engine to desorb CO.sub.2.

Safety of vehicles employing an electrolysis generator is improved by a rollover abatement system.

Systems and methods for treating automotive vehicle emissions on board an automotive vehicle include the use of waste heat recovery, electrochemical water splitting, phototcatalytic water splitting, and selective catalytic reduction. Waste heat recovery is used to power electrochemical water splitting, or photocatalytic water splitting. Photons collected from a solar panel are used in photocatalytic water splitting, or in photo-assisted selective catalytic reduction. Hydrogen gas generated by water splitting is used in conjunction with catalytic reduction units to catalytically reduce NOx in an engine exhaust gas.

Exhaust gas is treated onboard a vehicle. Solar energy is converted into electricity, which is used to power an electrochemical cell mounted onboard the vehicle. Oxygen and hydrogen are produced by the electrochemical cell. Heat and the oxygen produced by the electrochemical cell are provided to a particulate matter filter onboard the vehicle, thereby oxidizing particulate matter disposed on the particulate matter filter.

Methods and systems are provided for an exhaust gas treatment device. In one example, the exhaust gas treatment device comprises an electrochemical cell having a first electrode, a second electrode and an electrolyte provided between the first and second electrodes, wherein the electrochemical cell is configured to convert a first pollutant species, such as nitric oxide, within the exhaust gas to a second pollutant species, such as nitrogen dioxide, such that a concentration of the second pollutant species within the exhaust gases leaving the exhaust gas treatment device is increased relative to the exhaust gases entering the exhaust gas treatment device.
