Preparation of stable nanofluids is the first step and key issue of nanofluid research and application. A wet chemical route for controllable synthesizing of nanofluids was developed and three kinds of nanofluids were prepared using this method. Aqueous nanofluids containing CuO nanoparticle clusters with different aggregating degree were controllably synthesized by changing the reflux reaction time. Nanofluids consisting of CuS hollow spheres with different size and shell thickness were produced. Ag nanofluids with different cluster size were manipulated as well. The synthesis mechanism for the wet chemical route was proposed.
