Abstract
Due to the improved thermophysical characteristics of ionic liquids (ILs), such as their strong ionic conductivity, negligible vapor pressure, and thermal stability at high temperatures, they are being looked at viable contender for future heat transfer fluids. Additionally, the dispersing nanoparticles can further improve the thermophysical characteristics and thermal performance of ionic liquids, which is one of the emerging research interests to increase the heat transfer rates of the thermal devices. The latest investigations about the utilization of ionic liquid nanofluids as a heat transfer fluid is summarized in this work. These summaries are broken down into three types: (a) the thermophysical parameters including thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and specific heat of ionic liquids (base fluids), (b) the thermophysical properties like thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and viscosity of ionic liquids based nanofluids (IL nanofluids), and (iii) utilization of IL nanofluids as a heat transfer fluid in the thermal devices. The techniques for measuring the thermophysical characteristics and the synthesis of IL nanofluids are also covered. The suggestions for potential future research directions for IL nanofluids are summarized.

Abstract
The stability along with thermal and rheological characteristics of ionanofluids (INFs) profoundly depend on the protocol of preparation. Therefore, in this work, the effect of ultrasonication time on microstructure, thermal conductivity, and viscosity of INFs containing 0.2 wt% of originally ultra-long multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and four different ILs, namely 1-propyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate, or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide, was studied. The INFs were obtained by a two-step method using an ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonication process was performed for 1, 3, 10, or 30 min at a constant nominal power value of 200 W. The obtained results showed that for the shortest sonication time, the highest thermal conductivity enhancement of 12% was obtained. The extended sonication time from 1 to 30 min caused the cutting of MWCNTs and breaking the nanoparticle clusters, leading to a decrease in the average length of the nanotube bundles by approx. 70%. This resulted in a decline in thermal conductivity even by 7.2% and small deviations from the Newtonian behavior of INFs.

Abstract
In recent years, solar thermal energy (STE) has attracted energy researchers because of its higher efficacy compared to the photovoltaic solar cell. STE is one of the forms of solar energy whereby heat is transferred via a secondary medium called heat transfer fluids (HTFs). Therefore, the overall performance of STE depends on the thermophysical properties and thermal performance of the HTFs. Traditional HTFs suffer from low decomposition temperature, high melting point, and higher vapor pressure. To overcome these limitations, researchers have recently begun working on new HTFs for STE. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as a potential candidate for the next generation of HTFs because of their enhanced thermophysical properties, such as thermal stability at high temperature, insignificant vapor pressure, and high ionic conductivity. In addition, thermophysical properties and thermal performance of ILs can be further enhanced by dispersing nanoparticles, which is one of the emerging research interests to improve the efficiency of the solar thermal system. This paper summarizes the recent study of ILs-based nanofluids as HTFs. These summaries are divided into two sections (i) thermophysical properties studies, such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity, and (ii) thermal performance studies such as natural convection and forced convection. Synthesis of ILs-based nanofluids and thermophysical properties measurement techniques are also discussed. Based on these state-of-the-art summaries, we offer recommendations for potential future research direction for ILs-based nanofluids.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are a new and challenging class of fluids with great and tunable properties, having the capability of an extensive area of real-life applications, from chemistry, biology, medicine to heat transfer. These fluids are often considered as green solvents. Several properties of these fluids can be enhanced by adding nanoparticles following the idea of nanofluids. These ionic liquids-based nanocolloids are also termed in the literature as ionanofluids or nanoparticles-enhanced ionic liquids. This review summarizes the findings in both areas of ionic liquids and ionic liquids nanocolloids (i.e., ionic liquids with nanoparticles in suspension) with direct applicability in convective heat transfer applications. The review presents in a unified manner the progress and prospects of ionic liquids and their nanocolloids from preparation, thermophysical properties and equally experimental and numerical works. As the heat transfer enhancement requires innovative fluids, this new class of ionic liquids-based nanocolloids is certainly a viable option, despite the noticed drawbacks. Nevertheless, experimental studies are very limited, and thus, extensive experiments are needed to elucidate ionic liquids interaction with nanoparticles, as well as their behavior in convective heat transfer.

Abstract
Transfer of the excellent intrinsic properties of individual carbon nanoparticles into real-life applications of the corresponding heat transfer fluids remains challenging. This process requires identification and quantification of the nanoparticle-liquid interface. Here, for the first time, we have determined geometry and properties of this interface by applying transmission electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-TEM). We have systematically investigated how the particle morphology of carbon-based nanomaterials affected the thermal conductivity, specific isobaric heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, density, and viscosity of ionanofluids and/or bucky gels, using a wide range of fillers, especially single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), both with extreme values of aspect ratio (length to diameter ratio) from 150 to 11 000. Accordingly, hybrid systems composed of various carbon nanomaterials and ionic liquid, namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate [EMIM][SCN], were prepared and characterized. Most of the analyzed nanodispersions exhibited long-term stability even without any surfactant. Our study revealed that the thermal conductivity could be remarkably improved to the maximum values of 43.9% and 67.8% for ionanofluid and bucky gel (at 1 wt % loadings of MWCNTs and SWCNTs), respectively, compared to the pristine ionic liquid. As a result, the model proposed by Murshed and co-workers has been improved for realistic description of the concentration-dependent thermal conductivity of such hybrid systems. The obtained results undoubtedly indicate the potential of ionanofluids and bucky gels for energy management.

Abstract
In recent years, solar energy technologies have developed an emerging edge. The incessant research to develop a power source alternative to fossil fuel because of its scarcity and detrimental effects on the environment is the main driving force. In addition, nanofluids have gained immense interest as superior heat transfer fluid in solar technologies for the last decades. In this research, a binary solution of ionic liquid (IL) + water based ionanofluids is formulated successfully with two dimensional MXene (Ti3C2) nano additives at three distinct concentrations of 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 wt % and the optimum concentration is used to check the performance of a hybrid solar PV/T system. The layered structure of MXene and high absorbance of prepared nanofluids have been perceived by SEM and UV–vis respectively. Rheometer and DSC are used to assess the viscosity and heat capacity respectively while transient hot wire technique is engaged for thermal conductivity measurement. A maximum improvement of 47% in thermal conductivity is observed for 0.20 wt % loading of MXene. Furthermore, the viscosity is found to rise insignificantly with addition of Ti3C2 by different concentrations. Conversely, viscosity decreases substantially as the temperature increases from 20 °C to 60 °C. However, based on their thermophysical properties, 0.20 wt % is found to be the optimum concentration. A comparative analysis in terms of heat transfer performance with three different nanofluids in PV/T system shows that, IL+ water/MXene ionanofluid exhibits highest thermal, electrical, and overall heat transfer efficiency compared to water/alumina, palm oil/MXene, and water alone. Maximum electrical efficiency and thermal efficiency are recorded as 13.95% and 81.15% respectively using IL + water/MXene, besides that, heat transfer coefficients are also noticed to increase by 12.6% and 2% when compared to water/alumina and palm oil/MXene respectively. In conclusion, it can be demonstrated that MXene dispersed ionanofluid might be great a prospect in the field of heat transfer applications since they can augment the heat transfer rate considerably which improves system efficiency.

Abstract
Abstract
Heat transfer fluids materials are manufactured for the purpose of transfer, distribution and storage of heat. Several of their important properties can be listed (for example flash point, thermal expansivity or technical safety). However, to assess the thermal exchange performance of these fluids, a prior knowledge of their heat capacity, density, viscosity and thermal conductivity is obligatory. The most popular heat transfer fluids are based on organic liquids, such as ethylene glycol. However, new technologies and development require more efficient materials. Ionanofluids, mixtures of ionic liquids and nanoparticles, were proposed as a viable replacement for those commonly used fluids due to the properties of ionic liquids (wide liquid range or low vapour pressure and flammability) combined with enhanced thermophysical properties of nanofluids caused by the dispersion of nanoparticles (mainly thermal conductivity and heat capacity). Very few authors reported the extensive analysis of those systems thermophysical properties and impact on the heat exchange efficiency. Moreover, the availability of published data is very limited. The aim of this work is to investigate ionanofluids based on the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation paired with the acetate, butanoate, hexanoate, octanoate or decanoate anion, mixed with carbon nanotubes, boron nitride, graphite or mesoporous carbon as nanoparticles with concentration up to 3 wt %. The density, heat capacity, thermal stability, thermal conductivity and viscosity of selected ionanofluids were determined experimentally as functions of the temperature (up to 363.15 K) and compared with theoretical tools to evaluate the predictive capability. Based on the experimental results, lubrication, heat storage potential and economic analysis were also discussed and compared to commercial heat transfer fluids.

Abstract
Based on room-temperature densities measured in this research for ionic nanofluids (INFs) with four ionic liquids (ILs), we conclude that evacuation is a necessary step to maximize the IL penetration into multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). An improved procedure for reproducible preparation of INFs is proposed. Thermal behavior of five (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate + MWCNT) samples was studied by adiabatic calorimetry over the temperature range (78 to 370) K. The samples contained from 0.11 to 0.92 mass fraction of the nanophase. Their appearance changed from the fluid to the powder with increasing the MWCNT content. For the fluid samples, the specific heat capacity was found be an additive quantity of the specific heat capacities of the components for the crystal and liquid phases, and the temperatures of phase transitions did not change relative to the bulk values. For the powder-like sample with the highest IL content, a sigmoidal heat capacity curve was observed. Thus, the internal diameter of the studied MWCNT was small enough to switch from the isothermal melting process to the gradual transition from the crystal-like structures to the liquid-like ones.

Abstract
The dispersion of nanoparticles into ionic liquids leads to enhancement of their thermal conductivity. Several papers report on various enhancement values, whereas the comparison between these values with those from theoretical calculations is not always performed. These thermal conductivity enhancements are desired due to their beneficial impact on heat transfer performance in processes requiring the utilisation of heat transfer fluids. Moreover, on the one hand, the theoretical modelling of these enhancements might lead to an easier, cheaper, and faster heat transfer unit design, which could be an enormous advantage in the design of novel industrial applications. On the other hand, it significantly impacts the enhancement mechanism. The aim of this work is to discuss the enhancement of thermal conductivity caused by the dispersion of nanoparticles in ionic liquids, including the analysis of their errors, followed by its theoretical modelling. Furthermore, a comparison between the data reported herein with those available in the literature is carried out following the reproducibility of the thermal conductivity statement. The ionic liquids studied were 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, while carbon nanotubes, boron nitride, and graphite were selected as nanoparticles to be dispersed in the investigated ionic liquids to design novel heat transfer fluids.
