“…165 Accordingly, in terms of achieving broadband absorption of radiant light and the heat of the sun along with high photothermal efficiency, hybrid NFs have consequently been utilized in different studies. Luo et al 165 investigated a new method to decrease the cost of plasmonic NF technology using TiN NPs while maintaining the photothermal conversion. The developed NFs (i.e., Ag-rGO NFs) could improve the efficiency of volumetric solar collectors by increasing their absorption and thermal conductivity capabilities.…”

This Review aims to investigate the use of titanium nitride-based nanofluids (NFs) in solar energy systems to enhance their efficiency and heat transfer capabilities. By exploring the thermophysical properties of TiN nanoparticles (NPs), the Review seeks to promote the adoption of NFs over traditional working fluids, thus contributing to the development of sustainable energy solutions. The emphasis is on leveraging TiN's superior plasmonic properties, which enable it to absorb sunlight more efficiently than conventional materials, thereby enhancing the overall performance of solar collectors. By highlighting TiN's exceptional chemical and mechanical stability and cost-effectiveness compared to noble metals, the Review aims to underscore its potential as a promising alternative for improving NFs' thermophysical characteristics and boosting the efficiency of solar thermal systems. For instance, TiN NPs characterized by broad-spectrum LSPR have exhibited a notable 92% sunlight absorption within the wavelength range of 400−750 nm, leading to a temperature change of up to 260% compared to water. Moreover, incorporating TiN NPs into rGO-based plasmonic nanofluids demonstrates a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency (67%) and enhanced heat transfer properties, showing a 23% improvement over pure water at a concentration of 40 ppm. This Review also addresses the current challenges and provides insights into future research directions, fostering the potential application of TiN NPs in advanced solar harvesting technologies. By consolidating existing knowledge, the Review aims to pave the way for innovative and sustainable solutions in the field of renewable energy, thereby contributing to global efforts to combat climate change and promote environmental sustainability.

“…Some of these methods rely on macroscopic heat sources to kill the diseased tissue. Photothermal therapy using nano/ microparticles has been introduced as yet another technique to treat patients [6][7][8][9][10]. In this regard, photothermal therapy by employing upconverting particles (UCPs) has gained recent research interest since these particles themselves emerge as multi-modal probes to their environment [11,12].…”

Upconverting particles like Yb and Er-doped NaYF$_4$ are known to heat up after illumination with light at pump wavelength due to inefficient upconversion processes. Here we show that NaYF$_4$ particles which have been co-doped not only with Yb and Er but also Fe improves the photothermal conversion efficiency. In addition, we show for the first time that alternating magnetic fields also heat up the ferromagnetic particles. Thereafter we show that a combination of optical and magnetic stimuli significantly increases the heat generated by the particles.

“…However, TiN nanofluid and Fe 3 O 4 /TiN nanofluid were aged for 7 days at the condition of ambient storage. Luo et al 29 prepared the plasmonic TiN@rGO nanofluid for DASC systems. The results showed some precipitates quickly after 15 days ambient storage and the relative absorbance dropped by 8.6%, indicating that the long‐term stability for TiN@rGO nanofluid should be enhanced.…”

TiN nanoparticles based plasmonic nanofluids exhibit promising results in performance improvement of direct absorption solar collectors, but the main issue for practical application is their poor stability. In this work, ethylene glycol (EG) based TiN nanofluids with polyacrylic acid (PAA) stabilizing ligand were prepared. The optical properties of the TiN-PAA/EG nanofluids with concentration ranging from 10 to 100 mg/L were characterized. The solar weighted absorption fraction of 99.55% is achieved at the optical depth of 1 cm when the concentration of the TiN-PAA/EG nanofluids is 100 mg/L. In addition, the experimental results of the long-term stability indicated that the TiN-PAA/EG nanofluid retained excellent dispersion stability after ambient storage of 250 days. Then, the stability of TiN-PAA/EG nanofluids upon prolonged heating cycle and accelerated ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was investigated.The results showed that TiN-PAA/EG nanofluid with concentration of 75 mg/L presents superior thermal stability after prolonged heating cycles at 120 C and excellent photostability after 30 days of UV irradiation. Finally, the photo-thermal conversion performance for TiN-PAA/EG nanofluids was studied. The stagnation temperature of the 100 mg/L TiN-PAA/EG nanofluids after light irradiation of 2 h reaches up to 80.12 C. The specific absorption rate of the prepared TiN-PAA nanofluids is demonstrated higher than that of reported TiN nanofluids.
