Delafossite CuAlO2 is a p-type transparent semiconductor oxide with space group R-3m (N°166) is a material with extended applications in different fields. Structural parameters, band structure, and density of CuAlO2 have been investigated in the light of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) using PBE pseudopotentials (norm-conserving pseudopotentials). Our calculations are performed with the ABINIT package using cut-off energy of 100 Hartree, showing convergence to cut-off energy up to 30 Hartree. The lattice parameters of CuAlO2 obtained after the relaxation process are a = b = 2.904 Å and c = 17.202 Å; and consequently, volume of V=174.014 Å3 , also the derivate of the bulk modules Bo´=4.1, and bulk modulus Bo=174 Gpa were found. We find that discrepancies between our calculated lattice parameters a, c, and c/a are overestimated about 0.798%, 0.591%, and 0.219% compared to the reference’s theoretical calculations of Qi-Jun Liu et,al respectively. The calculated energy band structure of CuAlO2 and the high-symmetry points of Brillouin Zone show that the delafossite structure has an indirect band gag (~ 1.21 eV) because the top valence and the bottom conduction are found at F point and Г point, respectively. This work aims to study structural parameters, band structure, and density of states of delafossite CuAlO2 and give one application as solar cell.

Ultra-high cooling performance is a crucial requirement of many thermomechanical systems, such as microelectronic devices, engine cooling systems, nuclear power systems, chemical reactors, and refrigeration systems. Recent experimental results reveal the potential thermal properties of suspended nanometallics in conventional fluids. In this study, the facile synthesis of one-dimensional delafossite CuAlO2 nanowires by microwave hydrothermal treatment was presented. A novel type of nanofluid consisting of CuAlO2 nanowires suspended in distilled water at various volume fractions (0.0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 wt%) was successfully synthesized using an easily scalable sonication method. The microstructures of as-synthesized CuAlO2 were investigated by adopting X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Furthermore, the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of water-loaded nanofluid were measured at different volume fractions and temperatures. The results reveal a significant increase in thermal conductivity with increasing CuAlO2 loading levels and temperatures. The obtained results propound the fact that water-loaded delafossite CuAlO2 nanowires-based nanofluid is a promising candidate for future industrial applications.
