Explore: Molten Salts

Molten-salt batteries are a class of battery that uses molten salts as an electrolyte and offers both a high energy density and a high power density.

room-temperature ionic liquid, and molten salts are technically a class of ionic liquids. As a reference, molten sodium chloride, table salt, has a melting

mixtures including also sodium nitrate.[better source needed] Those molten salts can be used to replace thermo oil in concentrated solar power plants

designs using liquid sodium have been demonstrated, and systems using molten salts (40% potassium nitrate, 60% sodium nitrate) as the working fluids are

lighter alternative to traditional glass. Molecular liquids, electrolytes, molten salts, and aqueous solutions are mixtures of different molecules or ions that

alloys to contain the molten salt. Such alloys are prone to embrittlement under high neutron flux. Corrosion risk. Molten salts require careful management

it is much less soluble in water. It is mainly used as a component of molten salts. Partly because Li and F are both light elements, and partly because
