Gallium–indium nanoparticles as phase change material additives for tunable thermal fluids

Abstract

Inorganic Ga–In alloy nanoparticles suspended in a traditional thermal transport fluid simultaneously increase the overall thermal diffusivity of the fluid and serve as a cyclable solid–liquid PCM slurry, providing a thermal sink definable over a wide temperature range.
