  2. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

    It is more economical by achieving 100% more heat storage per unit volume over the dual tanks system as the molten-salt storage tank is costly due to its complicated construction. Phase Change Material (PCMs) are also used in molten-salt energy storage, [16] while research on obtaining shape-stabilized PCMs using high porosity matrices is ...

  3. Molten salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt

    Molten salts (fluoride, chloride, and nitrate) can be used as heat transfer fluids as well as for thermal storage. This thermal storage is used in concentrated solar power plants. [8] [9] Molten-salt reactors are a type of nuclear reactor that uses molten salt(s) as a coolant or as a solvent in which the fissile material is dissolved ...

  4. Molten-salt battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_battery

    Sumitomo studied a battery using a salt that is molten at 61 °C (142 °F), far lower than sodium based batteries, and operational at 90 °C (194 °F). It offers energy densities as high as 290 Wh/L and 224 Wh/kg and charge/discharge rates of 1C with a lifetime of 100–1000 charge cycles.

  5. Sodium–sulfur battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium–sulfur_battery

    Cut-away schematic diagram of a sodium–sulfur battery. A sodium–sulfur (NaS) battery is a type of molten-salt battery that uses liquid sodium and liquid sulfur electrodes. [1] [2] This type of battery has a similar energy density to lithium-ion batteries, [3] and is fabricated from inexpensive and low-toxicity materials.

  6. MoltexFLEX, Ltd. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoltexFLEX,_Ltd.

    MoltexFLEX is a British nuclear energy company developing small modular molten salt reactors.Their reactor designs, termed "FLEX reactors", are stable salt reactors, and feature a hybrid approach whereby fuel assemblies similar to current light water reactors containing the liquid salt fuel mixture are submerged in a pool of liquid salt coolant.

  7. Integral Molten Salt Reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Molten_Salt_Reactor

    The IMSR design is used for a variety of heat demand applications, ranging from power generation to cogeneration, or process-heat only. The integral molten salt reactor (IMSR) is a nuclear power plant design targeted at developing a commercial product for the small modular reactor (SMR) market.

    Its ultimate target is to investigate and develop a thorium based molten salt nuclear system in about 20 years. [102] [103] An expected intermediate outcome of the TMSR research program is to build a 2 MW pebble bed fluoride salt cooled research reactor in 2015, and a 2 MW molten salt fueled research reactor in 2017. This would be followed by a ...
