    Evaluation of stability, optical properties, and thermal performance of innovative TiO2/FeVO4 Ethylene Glycol hybrid nanofluids

    The effectiveness of direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs) is limited due to the low photothermal conversion efficiency and poor heat transfer qualities of traditional fluids. One potential solution to address this problem is the development of innovative technologies to enhance the solar absorption ability and thermal conductivity of conventional fluids. New generation nanofluids where nanosized particles are dispersed in base fluids like water or ethylene glycol (EG) have attracted interest within diverse solar technologies owing to their superior optical and thermal properties. This study presents a novel TiO2/FeVO4/Ethylene glycol (TFV/EG) nanofluid which exhibits significant solar absorption and thermal stability characteristics. A thorough characterization of the samples was conducted utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The stability, optical and rheological characteristics of TFV nanofluids were also examined. The study’s outcomes indicated that the integration of TFV nanoparticles into ethylene glycol (EG) markedly improved its optical absorption, especially at a concentration of 0.8 g/l TFV, which demonstrated robust absorption in the UV-visible light spectrum. Long-term stability assessments indicated sedimentation for all TFV concentrations following 65 days. A substantial 270% enhancement in thermal conductivity in comparison to EG base fluid was noted at 0.8 g/l TFV reaching 0.83 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹. All nanofluids exhibited shear-thinning behavior, a hallmark of non-Newtonian fluids. The suggested TFV/EG represents a notable category of nanofluids that exhibited improved thermal performance and stability, rendering them very advantageous for efficient DASCs.
