Abstract
Reducing the melting point, in creasing the thermal stability limit, and enhancing the specific heat capacity of molten salt are the research hotspots in the field of medium and high temperature energy storage in recent years. From the perspectives of the melting point, thermal stability limit, and specific heat capacity of nitrates, we summarize the melting point, thermal stability limit, and specific heat capacity enhancement of molten salts with different compositions and ratios. The melting points of molten salt with different compositions and ratios are compared. Furthermore, the enhancing effect of various nanomaterials on molten salt is elucidated. The application of nitrate molten salt is also summarized to provide a reference for the research and application of novel molten salts.
