The influence of ozone addition on the low-temperature oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) was investigated experimentally in an atmospheric-pressure jet-stirred reactor, over the temperature range of 400–800 K. Detailed speciation information was obtained by employing synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry. Experimental results revealed that the ozone addition had a positive influence on the production of the highly reactive intermediates. Moreover, the low-temperature reactivity of DME was significantly enhanced, which resulted in the broadening of the temperature window of fuel consumption and intermediates formation at lower temperatures. Therefore, novel experimental data of the low temperature regime (400–500 K) could be obtained. The data set of this special temperature regime yielded insights into the DME low-temperature kinetics, which were further supported with modeling analysis based on two existing DME models (Metcalfe et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2015) combined with an ozone sub-mechanism (Zhao et al., 2016). The analysis showed that temperature-sensitive reactions such as the second oxygen channel could be nearly “frozen” at this low temperature (T < 440 K). Furthermore, the production of some intermediates was found to be strongly governed by reaction pairs, such as CH₃OCH₂ + O₂ = CH₃OCH₂O₂ and CH₃OCH₂ + O₂ = ₂CH₂O + OH for the CH₂O formation. This finding could be useful for examining branching ratios in both models, and the analysis suggested the further modification of the branching ratios for the oxygen addition to CH₃OCH₂O₂ pathways and the CH₃OCH₂O₂ self-reactions were required. Finally, the influences of the O₃ addition in the sensitive reactions of the fuel initial low-temperature oxidation were investigated in this work. It was interesting to note that O₃ addition could change the dominating reactions in the initial low-temperature oxidation, by the addition of some O₃-related pathways with relatively high sensitivity.
