Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology has witnessed substantial growth, with forecasts predicting an increase of 3.4 GW between 2019 and 2024. This expansion necessitates the installation of energy storage systems to meet the growing demand. Solar molten salts, specifically a mixture of 60 % NaNO3 and 40 % KNO3, have emerged as the primary thermal energy storage (TES) medium in commercial CSP plants. However, a significant challenge lies in the corrosive nature of molten salt at high temperatures, which poses limitations in TES applications. The literature has explored a promising solution: reducing corrosion rates by incorporating nanoparticles into molten salts, creating nanofluids. To assess the viability of nanofluids for CSP, it is essential to understand how they perform under working conditions, especially regarding their thermal stability and durability. This study presents further evidence of nanofluid interactions with component materials under static working conditions. Specifically, focus on the impact of corrosion products precipitated during corrosion tests on the physical and thermal properties of Solar Salt-based silica dioxide nanofluids. In this research, nanofluids in contact with stainless steel, nickel‑chromium alloy, and carbon steel were examined before and after subjecting them to a 90-day thermal exposure at 500 °C. These findings provide valuable data on key thermo-physical properties during service, contributing to the design of more precise TES systems and enhancing their overall efficiency and effectiveness.
