• Field study of a direct absorption solar collector with eco-friendly nanofluid 

      Struchalin, Pavel G.; Zhao, Yansong; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      The concept of direct absorption solar collector (DASC) was introduced in the 1970s. Multiple laboratory studies proved that nanofluid-based DASCs presented a fruitful alternative to conventional solar collectors. However, ...
    • Solar-driven desalination using nanoparticles 

      Kuzmenkov, Dmitrii M.; Struchalin, Pavel G.; Olkhovskii, Andrey V.; Yunin, Vladimir S.; Kutsenko, Kirill V.; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Due to the high light absorption and the possibility of localizing boiling to the interior of the receiver, nanoparticles are promising for solar-driven desalination. The paper presents an experimental study of the ...
