•Single-layer graphene and GO nanofluids were designed for solar thermal application.•Uniform temperature distribution is achieved in nanofluids based on the RI-DASC mode.•The photothermal conversion efficiency of SLG is 49.13% at 100 ppm in the RI-DASC mode.•The photothermal conversion efficiency of GO reaches 46.26% at 100 ppm in the RI-DASC mode. Direct absorption solar collectors (DASC) are extremely attractive in solar energy utilization. In this paper, starting from these two aspects, graphene-based nanofluids, including single-layer graphene (SLG) and graphene oxide (GO), are prepared to enhance solar absorption and photothermal conversion performance. The influence of nanofluids' concentration and two different irradiation modes: traditional DASC and reverse radiation DASC (RI-DASC) on the photothermal conversion performance of graphene-based nanofluids has been studied. The addition of a small amount of SLG or GO significantly improves the photothermal conversion efficiency of base fluid, and it increases along with the increase of the concentration. Furthermore, the RI-DASC mode has a more uniform thermal field distribution and the higher photothermal conversion efficiency than the DASC mode. In DASC mode, the photothermal conversion efficiency of pure water is 17.00%. By changing the irradiation mode, the introduction of GO and SLG nanofluids (100 ppm) increased the photothermal conversion efficiency by about 172% and 189%, reaching 46.26% and 49.13%. According to the photothermal-thermoelectric conversion experiment, the positive correlation between the output power of the TE module and the heating state of the nanofluid makes it possible to adjust the nanofluid in real-time. This work presents a feasible way to enhance solar energy absorption and improve the photothermal conversion efficiency of nanofluids for DASC.
