Abstract
The use of plasmonic nanofluids in photothermal applications, such as solar thermal receivers, is a strong subject in current research. Additionally, other fields show interests in basefluids, of which the optical properties are tuned by adding nanoparticles. Exemplary research activities are plasmonic hyperthermia or nanoparticle-based sunscreen products. However, chosing the appropriate nanoparticle material is of great importance for the efficiency of such systems. The ‘classical’ approach is to measure the absorption or scattering behavior of known nanofluids, followed by an estimation whether or not this fluid is suitable for the designated application. This paper shows up a different approach: a method is presented to be used as a guided search for a global optimal nanoparticle material for a certain task.
