摘要

Solar energy is one of the most extensively utilized sustainable energy resources. It can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve energy savings. Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) modules are typically used to achieve photo-to-electricity and photo-to-thermal energy conversions. Various nanofluids have been adopted as thermal fluids to improve the heat exchange performance of PV/T modules. Consequently, this paper reviews and investigates the latest progress in PV/T module applications integrated with different types of nanomaterials, including metal and metal oxides, non-metallic materials, magnetic fluids, and nano-reinforced phase change materials (NePCMs), and thermal pipe structures such as twisted tubes, bionic tubes, serpentine tubes, and microchannels. The influences of different parameters, including dimensions, concentration, stability, and nanomaterial base-fluid choices, on the overall energy conversion efficiency are also discussed. Furthermore, the effect of an external magnetic field on the PV/T system performance is analyzed. The results demonstrated that the entire system efficiency could be achieved in the 85%–90% range by optimizing the PV/T pipe structure arrangements and introducing various nanofluids compared with conventional PV/T modules.
