Review on the recent progress in the preparation and stability of graphene‑based nanofluids Thong Le Ba1   · Omid Mahian2,3,4 · Somchai Wongwises4,5 · Imre Miklós Szilágyi1 Received: 25 September 2019 / Accepted: 20 January 2020 © The Author(s) 2020

Abstract Graphene has attracted much attention from the science world because of its mechanical, thermal, and physical properties. Graphene nanofluid is well known for its easy synthesis, longer suspension stability, higher heat conductivity, lower erosion, corrosion, larger surface area/volume ratio, and lower demand for pumping power. This article is an audit of experimental outcome about the preparation and stability of graphene-based nanofluids. Numerous researches to prepare and stabilize graphene-based nanofluids have been developed, and it is indispensable to create a complete list of the approaches. This research work outlines the advancement on preparation and assessment methods and the techniques to enhance the stability of graphene nanofluids and outlook prospects.

Introduction Nanofluids, coined by Choi and Eastman [1], are colloidal suspensions of ultrafine metallic or nonmetallic particles in a base matrix host fluid. Some essential requirements should be met, for example, steady-state suspension,
