Abstract:

The thermodynamic study of chemical equilibria represents the core of many important branches of
chemistry. Coordination and supramolecular chemistry, chemical speciation, molecular modelling, drug
design are just few examples. The importance of chemical equilibria, and chemical thermodynamics in
general, results from the simple assertion that many properties of elements and compounds depend mainly
on their interactions in a given system: the biological activity of an element or molecule, or their
environmental impact can be explained by a detailed study of these interactions, whose nature and strength
can be evaluated by chemical equilibrium and other thermodynamic studies. For example, speciation
modelling based on chemical equilibrium data is commonly used in to improve commercial products
performances, investigate the mobility of pollutants and toxicants in the environment, optimize industrial
processes, explain the mechanisms of action of biologically active substances. Furthermore, advanced
thermodynamic studies yield deeper insights into the mechanisms of these interactions.
NECTAR will combine the expertise of the large community of specialists working in this field, creating a
network based on the stimulating collaboration between them, promoting knowledge exchange, and
achieving high technological progress. All this will be accomplished through a fruitful collaboration between
young researchers and experienced scientists, taking into consideration gender balance and maximal
geographical distribution. Innovative and integrated theoretical and experimental approaches will be
established and optimized. Overall, the outstanding quality of obtained results will serve as benchmark for
next decades, allowing their application in the above-mentioned fields and substantially impacting on life
quality of next generations.

Abstract:

Nanofluids are defined as fluids that contain nanometre-sized particles with enhanced heat transfer properties. Since 1995, active research on this topic has been conducted (more than 1,700 papers in the last 3 years). Nanofluids improve the efficiency of heat exchange and thermal energy storage systems and they are specifically mentioned in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan and the Materials Roadmap to enable Low-Carbon Technologies as potential elements to improve the efficiency of heat exchange and thermal energy storage systems. Consequently, nanofluids address the European Horizon 2020 Energy and Climate objectives (Societal Challenges 3: Secure, efficient and clean energy; and 6: Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials). In addition, nanofluids fall within one of the Key Enabling Technologies (KET) supported by the European Commission. Although some nanofluid commercial applications currently exist, most of the current nanofluids are at Technological Readiness Levels (TRL) 1 to 3. Most of the nanofluids research in COST countries has been conducted by Research, Development and Innovation (R+D+i) centres through national funding. Additional coordinated research and development efforts are required to develop nanofluids up to higher TRL levels and to overcome commercial application barriers. If these barriers are overcome, nanofluids will be an important player in the Value Added Materials (VAM) for the energy sector.The objective of the NANOUPTAKE COST Action is to create a Europe-wide network of leading R+D+i institutions, and of key industries, to develop and foster the use of nanofluids as advanced heat transfer/thermal storage materials to increase the efficiency of heat exchange and storage systems.
