Maaza1,2* We report on the synthesis and enhanced thermal conductivity of stable Ag-decorated 2-D graphene nanocomposite in ethylene glycol based nanofuid by laser liquid solid interaction. A surfactant free nanofuid of Ag nanoparticles anchored onto the 2-D graphene sheets were synthesized using a two-step laser liquid solid interaction approach. In order to understand a pulsed Nd:YAG laser at the fundamental frequency (λ = 1,064 nm) to ablate Ag and graphite composite target submerged in ethylene glycol (EG) to form AgNPs decorated 2-D GNs-EG based nanofuid. From a heat transfer point of view, it was observed that the thermal conductivity of this stable Ag-graphene/EG is signifcantly enhanced by a factor of about 32.3%; this is highest reported value for a graphene based nanofuid. Following the discovery of graphene by Geim and Novoselov 1, the feld of graphene related science ushered new areas of science and potential technologies and several studies were carried out on diferent aspects of these peculiar 2-D carbon nanostructures. Graphene is a fat monolayer of carbon atoms or a thin layer of pure carbon tightly packed into two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice. Early investigations of graphene demonstrated that this material exhibits extraordinary physical and chemical properties such as signifcantly higher values of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, high room temperature carrier mobility and lateral quantum confnement amongst others.
