During World War II a scientist named Georg Otto Erb developed the molten salt battery for use in military applications. The war ended before Erb’s batteries found any real use, but British ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Thorizon of the Netherlands announced it has secured EUR20 million (USD22 million) in funding to accelerate the development ...

This study reports a high-temperature molten-salt system of KCl+LiOH+Li2CO3 to regenerate spent nickel-rich ternary cathodes. At elevated temperature, the molten-salt environment accelerates the ...

After five years of research, scientists at the US Idaho National Laboratory (INL) believe they have created the perfect ...

After five years of trying to find the right ingredients, scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) believe they have ...

So too for molten salt reactors (MSRs), which saw Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) create a number of prototypes, starting in 1954 when the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) reached first ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of UB RAS have developed and tested a model based on machine learning that predicts the properties of molten salts.

The Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group (MSILDG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider ...

Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...
