Summary Nanofluid spectral splitting photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems have become immensely common for the utilization of full‐spectrum. The performance enhancement investigation of the plasmonic hybrid nanofluid spectral filtering PV/T system in dynamical modeling and a practical validation was carried out in this study. The Ag@SiO2 core‐shell nanoplate/ethylene glycol‐CoSO4 plasmonic hybrid nanofluid was synthesized to selectively absorb incident natural sunlight. We used H2O2 as a basic shape‐selective oxidant to synthesize the silver nanoplate using a one‐step method. This approach simplifies seed formation and transformation of spherical nanoparticles to different‐sized nanoplates. A practical study of the plasmonic hybrid nanofluid optical filtering PV/T system was conducted outdoors on sunny days to represent the temperate region and evaluate the dynamic modeling and the system's applicability in real situations. It was found that the plasmonic beam splitter serves as an efficient heat transfer medium and maintains the PV module around the ambient temperature. The highest temperature recorded on the typical day of our experiment was 51.62, 54.34, and 57.56°C for the ethylene‐CoSO4 base fluid and nanofluids with concentrations of 18.3 and 28.3 ppm, respectively, and 33.16°C for the PV panel. The highest overall performance of up to 87.6%, 86.4%, and 85.3% was attained by the spectral filtering plasmonic hybrid nanofluid PV/T system using a 27.3 and 18.3 ppm concentration ratio and hybrid base fluid, respectively. The study shows the nanofluid reduces the electricity output but produces higher merit function values than the PV standalone. This shows that the proposed nanofluid is a potential candidate for PV/T systems targeting utilization of full‐spectrum sunlight and enhancing the overall performance.

“…Placing an OF in front of the PV module contributes to transmitting only the necessary portion for power generation; however, the remaining section is obtained by using the filtration fluid. Generally, liquid OF is able to transmit the wavelengths when the PV module is operated at high efficiency [9,10], which could help to obtain better electrical efficiency, reduce PV surface temperature, collect more thermal energy and extend the PV module lifetime for various types of applications. DeJarnette et al [11] carried out an experimental investigation of a concentrating PV/T collector with a nanoparticle OF system and revealed that the solar transmission and absorbing rate are more than 75% and 80%, respectively.…”

Solar photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) technology is the main strategy for harvesting solar energy due to its non-polluting, stability, good visibility and security features. The aim of the project is to develop a mathematical model of a PV/T module integrated with optical filtration and MXene-enhanced PCM. In this system, a single MXene-enhanced PCM layer is attached between the PV panel and absorber pipe with solid MXene-PCM for storage and cooling purposes. Additionally, the thermal fluid is utilized in the copper absorber pipe and connected to the heat pump system for enhancing system thermal and electrical efficiency. Furthermore, the influences of the optical filtration channel height, concentration of the nanoparticles on PV surface temperature and overall system efficiency are also discussed. This study demonstrates that the annual thermal and electrical energy output can reach 5370 kWh per annum with 74.92% of thermal efficiency and 5620 kWh with 14.65% of electrical efficiency, respectively, compared to the traditional PV/T module. Meanwhile, when the optical filtration channel height and volume concentration are enhanced, they exert a negative influence on the PV surface temperature, but the overall thermal efficiency is enhanced due to low thermal resistance to heat losses and low radiation-shielding layers.

Summary As a try, this work has been focused in the way towards the effective contribution in the field of solar aviation using renowned nanotechnology. After realizing the causes and effects of traditionally used energy forms, the search of cost‐efficient, eco‐friendly, and most prominent renewable source leads us back to the solar utilities. Research era of solar radiation‐powered aircraft has been in trend. Focusing on that, an efficient numerical model representing the flow and thermal aspects of a parabolic trough surface collector (PTSC) embedded on solar aircraft wings has been adopted for this study. As the first time with the note, an eminent and leading form of thermal efficient fluid of kind, the Casson hybrid nanofluid has been engaged with the expectations of enhanced performance in the solar aircraft wings. To test it, a trending reputable numerical scheme of the Keller‐box method has been utilized and the parametrical studies were carried out. The upshots of those studies provide the affable proofs in favor of our expectations towards the improved solar wings with better thermal efficiency. The glimpse of those successes in the parametrical level has been showcased in the forms of tables and graphs. The lateral “x” direction significant about the inertial forces, suspended particle ratio, and skin resistance phenomena, while for the transverse fluidity in the “y” direction were has to be concern about the magnetic interactions, rotational coordinates, viscous nature of the fluid along with the porous states. The power of hybrid nanofluid combos was exposed in higher notes in a unique state of solar aircraft wings. Furthermore, the thermal efficiency of hybrid nanofluids over nanofluids got down to a minimal level of 6.1% and peaked up to 21.8%.
