Research has introduced a passive cooling system integrating a 3D oscillating heat pipe (3D-OHP) with nanofluids based on graphene oxide (GO) and MXene. The system was tested on a 50 W photovoltaic module, achieving a power output increase of 14.9% and efficiency improvement from 10.02% to 11.51%.
The study noted temperature reductions exceeding 24°C, and the hybrid nanofluid showed strong stability and a competitive levelized cost of electricity at $0.083/kWh. Researchers aim to explore multi-unit setups and integration with PV-battery systems. This approach could significantly impact urban solar energy systems by enhancing performance and reducing operational costs.
