1. A method of increasing conductivity of a liquid comprising the steps of:

  • forming non-agglomerated nanocrystalline particles;

    producing a nanofluid by dispersing the nanocrystalline particles by direct evaporation into a low vapor pressure liquid; and

    adding a thioglycolic acid as a stabilizing agent to the nanofluid.
