Carbon nanohorns and oxidised carbon nanohorns-based nanofluids were characterised by taking one step forward. The advantage of studying oxidised carbon nanohorns is that they are surfactant-free. The stability of both nanofluids was checked after a 3-month preparation period at high temperature, which comes closer to real applications. (292 characters)
