Nanofluid research has expanded rapidly over the past decade, driven by advances in nanoparticle synthesis, interfacial chemistry, and functional fluid design. This study presents a systematic bibliometric analysis of chemistry-oriented nanofluid research to examine publication trends, intellectual structures, and thematic evolution. Scopus-indexed documents published between 2015 and 2024 were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer to identify influential publications, collaboration patterns, and research themes. The results show a shift from early thermophysical optimization toward a chemistry-driven framework emphasizing synthesis routes, stability control, surface functionalization, and molecular-level modeling. Keyword analysis identifies four dominant themes: synthesis and stability, thermophysical chemistry, computational modeling, and hybrid nanofluids. Despite progress, gaps remain in long-term stability, environmental compatibility, and standardized characterization. This study provides a concise chemical perspective and outlines strategic directions for advancing chemically engineered nanofluids. © 2026, Philippine-American Academy of Science and Engineering.
