The impact of Pd on the light harvesting in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite for solar cells

Abstract

This studypresentsthepreparationofnanofluids basedonaheattransfer fluid commonly used in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants.They are comprised ofa eutectic mixture of diphenyloxide and biphenyl with Cu and N inanoparticles. The nanofluids based on Cu nanoparticles were shown to dramatically improve thermal properties, the heat transfer coefficient being up to 11% higher for the Cu nanofluid compared with the base fluid. Thus, their use in CSP plants could lead to enhancement sin their overall efficiency. Accordingly, nanofluids were prepared with varying nanoparticle concentrations and their properties were characterised, including the irradiation absorption capacity, viscosity, isobaric specific heat and thermal conductivity.
