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, ...

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 ...

After years of effort, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) scientists have created fuel for the world’s first fast-spectrum ...

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 ...

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 ...
