However, the synthesis of surfactant-free multi-walled carbon nanotubes based nanofluids with higher dispersion stability to maintain a trade-off between its dispersion stability and thermophysical properties is still a challenge. In this research, a surfactant-free multi-walled carbon nanotube and Jatropha seed oil-based nano-dispersion are prepared via one-step method and subjected to experimental determination of thermal conductivity within the temperature range of (25 {\^A}oC - 65 {\^A}oC) and nanoparticle volume fraction range of (0.2 wt. - 0.8 wt.). The prepared nanofluid found to be highly stable for long time and its thermal conductivity enhancement was found to be 6.76. {\^A}{\copyright} Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85081368926&doi=10.1088\%2f1757-899X\%2f736\%2f2\%2f022076&partnerID=40&md5=2efd6b0849131ef8a028f7b4b19f875f} }
