Abstract

Purpose: This study maps recent research trends on hydrogen fuel addition in diesel engines through a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed publications, aiming to identify trends and developments in hydrogen utilization as a fuel mixture in diesel combustion.
Methods: Publications documented between 01 January 2021 and 30 May 2025 were retrieved from the Scopus database. VOSviewer was applied to map research trends by analyzing citation frequencies, leading authors, collaboration networks, and publication patterns across countries.
Results: The analysis shows a maximum citation count of 120 across seven publications, with India emerging as the most productive nation in this field. Current research trends highlight dual-fuel diesel engines, combustion efficiency, and emission characteristics as dominant themes.
Conclusions: Future research is projected to expand toward tri-fuel modes, hydrogen blending ratios, alternative fuels, reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI), applications in marine diesel engines, and hydrogen storage and distribution technologies. These findings help researchers define roles and focus areas to strengthen discourse on hydrogen in diesel engines, contributing to sustainable advancements in hydrogen fuel research.
