Climate Change SolutionsExciting news in solar tech! A global research team has developed a passive cooling system for solar modules using innovative nanofluids made from graphene oxide and MXene. This setup not only reduced temperatures by over 24°C but also boosted power output by nearly 15%. With potential applications in urban solar cooling, this could be a game-changer for efficiency! https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/13/cooling-solar-modules-with-nanofluids-based-on-graphene-oxide-mxene/
Cooling solar modules with nanofluids based on graphene oxide, Mxene
An international research group has developed a novel solar module passive cooling system that integrates three-dimensional oscillating heat pipe (3D-OHP) with different combinations of nanofluids based on hybrid graphene oxide (GO) and a two-dimensional titanium carbide known as MXene (Ti3C2Tx). MXene compounds take their name from their graphene-like morphology and are made via selective etching of <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/13/cooling-solar-modules-with-nanofluids-based-on-graphene-oxide-mxene/" class="more-link">[…]</a>
