Abstract
When sunlight is incident on a metallic nanoparticle, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) can be induced, enhancing the photothermal conversion. A plasmonic nanofluid (i.e., a suspension of metallic nanoparticles in a base fluid) has thus been employed in various solar thermal applications for performance enhancement purposes. This chapter introduces the basic principle of the LSPR phenomenon on a metallic nanoparticle with emphasis on the tunability of its optical properties, the synthesis and characterization of a plasmonic nanofluid, and its application for solar thermal collectors. Our main objective is to illustrate the utilization of plasmonic nanofluids in solar thermal applications.
