摘要: Carbon nanotube dispersions are promising candidates for use as working fluids in high-performance solar collectors. However, one major stumbling block the way of their widespread application is difficulty achieving stable nanofluid suspensions at elevated temperatures. In this study, stability plasma- and acid-functionalised multi-walled carbon temperatures up to 150°C was investigated. Therminol 55 propylene glycol were used main solvents, while water a reference solvent. The results UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy showed that no agglomeration occurred plasma-functionalised nanofluids heated 150°C. minor variations observed absorbance nanotubes therminol base high
