摘      要：Optical filters are essential in a wide range of applications,including optical communications,electronics,lighting,optical sensors and *** article presents recent work which indicates that optical filters can be created from specialized nanoparticle ***,this article describes a theoretical optimization process for designing nanofluid-based filters for hybrid solar photovoltaic/thermal(PV/T)*** particular application is suitable because nanofluids can be utilized as both volumetric solar absorbers and flowing heat transfer *** nanofluid filters described in this work compare favorably with conventional optical filters for five photovoltaic(PV)cell alternatives:InGaP,CdTe,InGaAs,Si,and *** study demonstrates that nanofluids make efficient,compact and potentially low-cost,spectrally selective optical filters.
