A review on the use of carbon nanotubes nanofluid for energy harvesting system

Influence of defects induced by chemical treatment on the electrical and thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes

“…[1][2][3] Among these potential applications, using CNTs as heat transfer media in high thermal conductivity nanouids for cooling systems is one of the most promising and interesting applications due to their high thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity and low density. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The problem here is it is challenging to disperse CNTs in solvents directly for preparing nanouids due to their high hydrophobicity in as-grown states and CNTs normally tend to aggregate together to form bundles or clusters due to van der Waals interactions. As presented in many reports, maintaining uniform dispersion and stability of CNT nanouids is a key point to obtain the optimal thermal properties for a long time.…”

“…25 The properties of CNTs based nanouids such as the thermal conductivity, heat transfer, electrical conductivity, viscosity, stability have been investigated and reported. 5,[8][9][10][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Many works have been proposed and mainly focused on the thermal property both in the experimental and the theoretical models due to high thermal conductivity of CNTs compared to other materials and high potential applications. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] These works have almost been done to investigate the effect of the parameters such as CNT structure, CNT concentration, temperature, pH, surfactants, ultrasonic power, ultrasonication time on this property.…”

The recent advancement of low-dimensional nanostructured materials for drug delivery and drug sensing application: A brief review

“…This wide range of methods to synthesize CNT along with a wide range of structural variation and unique properties led CNT to be applied in many fields like aerospace industry [ 168 ], electronics [ 169 ], energy harvesters [ 170 ], gas sensors [ 171 ], biosensors [ 172 ], drug delivery [ 173 ] etc. Among these widespread applications of CNT, our particular interest is in its adsorption ability of biomolecules (both for sensing and delivery purpose) as it offers biocompatibility in this field and has the ability to penetrate cells along with excellent stability, high reliability, faster response time, high adsorption strength towards the bio-molecules etc.…”
