Well-crystallized Li2NiTiO4 nanoparticles are rapidly synthesized by a molten salt method using a mixture of NaCl and KCl salts. X-ray diffraction pattern and scanning electron microscopic image show that Li2NiTiO4 has a cubic rock salt structure with an average particle size of ca. 50 nm. Conductive carbon-coated Li2NiTiO4 is obtained by a facile ball milling method. As a novel 4 V positive ca...

Molten salt is an excellent medium for heat transfer and storage. The unique microstructure of carbon nanomaterials leads to good mechanical stability, low density, high thermal conductivity, strength, etc. addition molten form nanofluid can remarkably enhance the specific capacity conductivity reduce viscosity, which great importance increase storage density cost. Nevertheless, some challenges...

Dopants traditionally used for modifying crystal lattices can also function as growth mediators in molten salt synthesis and enable a high energy-density, power LiCoO 2 cathode lithium-ion batteries.

The factors which distinguish molten salts from other non-aqueous solvents are described and the range of systems available outlined. Some illustrative examples of the various classes of reactions carried out in molten salts are then given. These include the exchange of halides and pseudohalides in organic and inorganic compounds, organic chlorinations, eliminations and rearrangements, a consid...

Molten salts have been widely used as energy storage materials in medium- and high-temperature thermal storage. However, pure salt commonly suffers from low conductivity many conventional methods of heat transfer enhancement do not apply due to the serious corrosion extremely high temperature. In current study, open-cell SiC ceramic foam was integrated with solar (60wt% NaNO3 + 40wt% KNO3) enha...

Zirconium Diboride (ZrB2) powder was synthesized at low temperature via a Direct Molten Salt Reaction (DMSR) method. The influence of different salt compositions including eutectic mixture of (KF-NaF), (KF-KCl) and (KCl-NaCl) on the morphology and purity of the reaction products was studied. The obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD...

In this study, the effect of concentration of nanoparticles on the thermal storage properties of molten nitrate salt-based nanofluids with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) was investigated. Solar salt consisting of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate was utilized as the base material for the nanofluids. Homogeneous dispersion of GNPs within the solar salt was observed through scanning electron mi...
