Nanoparticles can be dispersed by different methods in order to completely utilize their unique material characteristics. This study uses a self-developed nanofluid synthesis system to produce a CuO nanofluid with good suspension stability and particle dispersion without additives. The prepared CuO nanofluid has an average particle size of 60 nm and a substantially improved size distribution. The effect of the electrical double layer on the stability of the prepared CuO nanofluid was experimentally assessed by studies using different concentrations and by rheological experiments. Furthermore, the relationships between the pH value and Zeta potential, hydrodynamic radius and Uv/Vis spectra of the prepared CuO nanofluids are also discussed. The experimental results show that the CuO nanofluid still maintains its Zeta potential at above 30 mV for longer than 6 months, indicating high suspension stability.
