We have found the enhancement of the positive temperature dependency for surface tension of dilute aqueous solution of n-butanol by coexisting aqueous suspensions of Au and Ag nanoparticles (nanofluids). Au nanoparticles were prepared by reduction of HAuCl4 with sodium borohydride (NaBH4), while Ag nanoparticles were prepared by reduction of AgNO3 with Ethylene glycol heating with microwave energy. We measured the nanoparticle size distribution, surface tension and visible spectra at various temperatures. Nanofluids with several times larger positive surface-tension gradient with temperature can be developed by adding small amount of higher alcohols into prepared suspensions of the gold nanoparticles. It was found that the surface tension dependency was greatly affected by the size of the nanoparticles.
