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 nanoparticlebased 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
