“…Nanoparticles refer to particles smaller than 100 nm in some one dimension, which yield important scientific research value due to their special physical properties [ 1 , 2 ]; whereas quantum dots are even smaller in size, generally below 10 nm [ 3 ], and nanofluids are defined as dispersed systems formed by a suspension of nanoparticles in a base fluid [ 4 ]. Nanofluids give rise to potential applications in various fields of industry, including solar collectors [ 5 , 6 ], lubrication [ 7 , 8 ], and oil recovery [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], due to the enhancement of various properties, such as thermal conductivity [ 12 , 13 ], electrical conductivity [ 14 , 15 ], and viscosity [ 16 , 17 ]. In fact, such nanoparticle suspension systems are also common in nature, such as raindrops on oil-stained pavements, and we can observe the interaction of such complex liquid systems with solid surfaces.…”
