Effects of interfacial layer on thermal conductivity enhancement of solar salt-based nanofluids: Insights from molecular dynamics simulations

The interfacial nano-layers around the nanoparticles (NPs) affect the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of molten salt-based nanofluids (MSBNFs), which brings challenge in fabricating MSBNFs with enhanced ETC. This paper presents insights into the interfacial layer and its effects on ETC of solar...
