Despite the economic and environmental benefits of biodiesel, it poses significant challenges, including coking on metal surface and increased wear on diesel engine injector nozzles. Therefore, this study investigates the synthesis of niobium-doped diamond-like carbon (Nb-DLC) coatings on two types...
