Abstract
Au@C core–shell nanostructures (Au@C-NS) were synthesized through a low-temperature seed-assisted hydrothermal approach using glucose as carbon source. The material characterization and chemical analysis confirm that the synthesis method allows to obtain uniform core–shell nanostructures constituted by a crystalline metal core and an amorphous carbon shell. Depending on the synthesis conditions, their average size ranges from 146 nm to 342 nm with relative standard deviation as low as 7 %. It is proposed that the characteristic monodispersity results due to a high nucleation rate of the carbon phase at the liquid–solid interface. The obtained monodisperse Au@C-NS were used to prepare water-based nanofluids with superior heat transport properties. The thermal lens analysis shows that the thermal diffusivity of Au@C nanofluids is 9.5 % and 31.3 % higher than their Au nanofluids counterparts and pure water, respectively, at particle concentration of 285 × 1011 ml−1. Phonon-related interactions at the metal cores and carbon shells interfaces are proposed as the heat transport mechanism behind the thermal diffusivity enhancement of the Au@C water-based nanofluids.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Thermophysics serves as an international medium for the publication of papers in thermophysics, assisting both generators and users of thermophysical properties data. This distinguished journal publishes both experimental and theoretical papers on thermophysical properties of matter in the liquid, gaseous, and solid states (including soft matter, biofluids, and nano- and bio-materials), on instrumentation and techniques leading to their measurement, and on computer studies of model and related systems. Studies in all ranges of temperature, pressure, wavelength, and other relevant variables are included.
