Preparation, applications, challenges and future prospects of nanofluid materials with a solar systems in the last decade

Abstract

In recent years, nanofluids have caught a lot of attention because they are important in many industrial applications, especially in the field of renewable energy. Solar systems work better when they use nanofluids, which have been studied in depth over the last ten years. This review paper's goal is to look into how nanofluids can be used in solar energy methods. The lack of carbon intensive fuels and concerns about environment led the investigators to look for other means of energy, like solar energy. So, it is important to make solar thermal systems work better and be more efficient. This review discusses the recent advancement that has been made using nanofluids in certain areas of solar energy. In this situation, the talks will be based on what the different properties of these nanofluids. A big part of this review paper is about how nanofluids affect how well solar water heaters and solar collectors work from the points of view of efficiency, cost, and the environment. Lastly, the challenges in solar systems using nanofluids and how they might be used in the future are presented. The ideas communicated in this review will help researchers come up with new ways to use nanofluids to improve solar energy in a number of different fields.
