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 ...

Now, to tackle the growing issue, researchers from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Central South University in China have extensively investigated molten salts, ...

A participant in this year’s DTECH Initiate program, Inlyte Energy is developing a long-duration utility-scale energy storage ...

Scientists from the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have designed a molten salt battery based on an anode made of molten sodium (Na) and a cathode made of ...

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

BioLargo Energy Technologies claims that its molten salt-based battery thrives in heat and can be a better alternative for traditional energy storage devices. These new batteries must be heated to ...

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 ...

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 ...
