Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 nano fluids formation and its optical, electrical and catalytic property analysis

Abstract

Growing interest in the field of thermal energy conversion into useful electrical energy is the field of interest towards energy harvesting. Titania nanofluid prepared by low cost precursors using hydrothermal method. The physico chemical characterization of as prepared titania nanoparticle were characterized by XRD, Raman and UV-Visible spectrometric methods. The particle size measurement was determined via Zeta potential study. We have studied the miscibility and viscosity and sedimentation property of as prepared titanium dioxide nanofluid particles by low cost method in various mixed solvent medium. Nanofluids property with different concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles (0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%) have been prepared by adding different concentrations and studied their physico-chemical properties. The as prepared TiO2 nanoparticles in the form fluid solution have shown very clear settled solution after the addition of suitable solvent medium and preparation method.
