Polymer electrolytes - solid polymeric membranes with dissolved salts - are being intensively studied for use in all-solid-state lithium-metal-polymer consumer electronic device. The low ionic conductivity at room temperature of existing polymer electrolytes, however, has seriously hindered the development of such batteries for many applications. The incorporation of salts molten at room temperature (room temperature ionic liquids or RTILs) into polymer electrolytes may be the necessary solution to overcoming the inherent ionic conductivity limitations of 'dry' polymer electrolytes.

비균일계 촉매의 일반적인 형태는 촉매로서 활성이 있는 금속 혹은 금속 화합물을 표면적이 넓은 다공성 물질인 지지체에 분산 담지시켜서 금속의 표면적을 높이고 이로부터 금속의 분산이 높아지면서 촉매로서의 활성도 높아져 일반적인 반응에 응용되고 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 금속염을 이용한 액상 촉매의 제조 및 응용에 초점을 맞추었다. 일반적인 금속염들은 높은 온도에서도 용융되지 않지만 이 금속염 화합물에 다른 금속염 화합물을 함께 섞어 혼합시키면 이 혼합물이 보통의 비균일 촉매 반응온도인 $200^{\circ}C$에서 $400^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 액상으로 존재할 수 있게 된다. 고온에서 액상형태가 되는 용융된 금속염 혼합물(molten salt)을 지지체의 세공 내에 담지시켜 담지된 액상 촉매로서의 가능성을 알아보고 이들의 촉매 제조와 표면 연구에 초점을 맞추었다. 이들 금속염 혼합물은 종류가 매우 다양하여 여러 종류의 금속에 대하여 혼합염을 선택하여 응용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 촉매로 많이 이용되고 있는 구리를 선정하고 이의 염화물인 염화구리(CuCl)와 함께 혼합되어 용융될 수 있는 금속염 혼합물을 만들기 위해 칼륨 염화물을 선택하여 CuCl-KCl 혼합염을 촉매 제조에 이용하였다. 이 금속염 혼합물을 지지체에 첨가시킨 양은 담지 시킬 알루미나 세공 부피의 약 25%로 하여 용융된 금속염의 표면적이 넓어지도록 하였고 제조 후의 표면은 SEM와 EDS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 금속염 혼합물은 염산 수용액을 이용하여 함침법으로 담지 시켰으며 제조한 직후와 제조한 후 금속염 혼합물을 용융점 이상으로 3 h 동안 열처리 한 후의 표면을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 표면에서의 CuCl-KCl의 조성은 일정하지 않았지만 이 열처리가 표면에서 금속염 혼합물의 형성을 촉진시키고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Thermal batteries, reserve power source, is activated by melting of molten salt at the temperature range of $350{\sim}550^{\circ}C$. To immobile the molten state electrolyte when the thermal battery is activated, the binder must be added in electrolyte. Usually, molten salts include 30~40 wt% of MgO binder to ensure electrical insulation as well as safety. However, the conventional MgO binder tends to increase ionic conductive resistance and thus the inclusion of the binder increases the total impedance of the battery. This paper mainly focused on the study of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as an alternative binder for molten salt. The chemical stability between the molten salt and YSZ is measured by XRD and DSC. And the sufficient path for ionic conduction on molten salt could be confirmed by the enhanced wetting behavior and the enlarged pore size of YSZ. The electrochemical properties were analyzed using single cell tests so that it showed the outstanding performance than that using MgO binder.

Two commonly used ceramics in molten salt research are alumina and mullite. The two ceramics were exposed to a combination of rare earth chlorides (YCl₃, SmCl₃, NdCl₃, PrCl₃, and CeCl₃; each rare earth chloride of 1.8 weight percent) in LiCl-KCl at 773 K for approximately 13 days. Scanning electron microscopy with wave dispersion spectra was utilized to investigate a formation layer or deposition of rare earths onto the ceramic. Only the major constituents of the ceramics (Al, Si, and O₂) were observed during the wave dispersion spectra. X-ray fluorescence was used as well to determine concentration changes in the molten salt as a function of ceramic exposure time. This study shows no evidence of ionic exchange or layer formation between the ceramics and molten chloride salt mixture. There are signs of surface tension effects of molten salt moving out of the tantalum crucible into secondary containment.

본 연구에서는 용융염법에 의한 Ba-ferrite의 생성기구와 그 자기적특성에 대해 조사하였다. 출발원료 중 BaC $O_3$만이 용융염내에서 용해도를 가졌으며, 이는 용융염내에서는 Ba-ferrite의 생성이 용해된 $Ba^{2+}$가 F $e_2$ $O_3$나 $\delta$-FeOOH의 표면으로 확산하여 표면반응을 통해 일어나는 것으로 보인다. 한편, 출발물질($\delta$-FeOOH와 F $e_2$ $O_3$)에 따라 생성된 Ba-ferrite가 합성되는 온도는 더 낮은 온도에서 생성됨을 알 수 있었다.

In order to synthesize Ba-ferrite particles by molten salt method KCl and NaCl were added to basic composition to 50% by weight. X was varied from 0.0 to 1.0 to control the magnetic properties in $BaFe_{12-2x}$/ $Co_{x}$ / $Ti_{x}$ / $O_{19}$ and 1 mol% of $SiO_2$was added to control the aspect ratio of hexagonal platelets. And the effects of reaction temperatures were examined by varying the temperature from 85$0^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ with 5$0^{\circ}C$ intervals. Eutectic composition of NaCl and KCl lowered the crystallizing temperature of Ba-ferrite in molten salts than using KCl and NaCl separatly. The morphology of resulting Ba-ferrite particles was clearly hexagonal-shaped plates. $H_{c}$ and $M_{r}$ were decreased when F $e^{3+}$ was substitued with $Co^{2+}$ and $Ti^{4+}$ from x=0 to x=1.0 in $BaFe_{12-2x}$/ $Co_{x}$ / $Ti_{x}$ / $O_{19}$ . Adding 1mol% $SiO_2$in molten salt method increased the size but shortened c-axis of the hexagonal ferrites and this result is an opposite phenomenon compared with the result in solid-statge reaction.n.ion.n.

Electrorefining in molten salts is used for purifying actinides. Optimizing electrorefining is key to minimizing processing time and radiological waste. One possible way of improving electrorefining efficiency is using an AC superimposed DC waveform. This waveform has demonstrated potential benefits in aqueous solutions but has never been utilized in a molten metal, molten salt application. This work investigates the effects of using an AC superimposed DC waveform on molten bismuth electrorefining in a molten LiCl-KCl-CaCl2 eutectic. Bismuth has been identified as a potential surrogate for plutonium electrorefining and a potential cathode in electrorefining used nuclear fuel (UNF). All electrorefining runs resulted in a high purity cathode ring and high yield with exception of the run using a low-frequency, high-amplitude superimposed AC waveform, which experienced some contamination and a lower yield. The other three AC superimposed DC runs experienced an average yield 6.7 % higher than the average yield of the DC runs. The electrorefining run using the high-frequency, high-amplitude superimposed AC signal had the highest yield. It is recommended in future studies to investigate the statistical variability of electrorefining yield and current efficiency and the impact of AC superimposed DC waveforms on solidified bismuth anodes.

Densities of molten salt mixtures of eutectic LiCl-KCl with $UCl_3$, $CeCl_3$, or $LaCl_3$ at various concentrations (up to 13 wt%) were measured using a liquid surface displacement probe. Linear relationships between the mixture density and the concentration of the added salt were observed. For $LaCl_3$ and $CeCl_3$, the measured densities were significantly higher than those previously reported from Archimedes' method. In the case of $LiCl-KCl-UCl_3$, the data fit the ideal mixture density model very well. For the other salts, the measured densities exceeded the ideal model prediction by about 2%.

A triple bubbler sensor was tested in LiCl-KCl molten salt from 450 to 525 ℃ in a transparent furnace to validate thermal-expansion corrections and provide additional molten salt data sets for calibration and validation of the sensor. In addition to these tests, a model was identified and further developed to accurately determine the density, surface tension, and depth from the measured bubble pressures. A unique feature of the model is that calibration constants can be estimated using independent depth measurements, which allow calibration and validation of the sensor in an electrorefiner where the salt density and surface tension are largely unknown. This model and approach were tested using the current and previous triple bubbler data sets, and results indicate that accuracies are as high as 0.03%, 4.6%, and 0.15% for density, surface tension, and depth, respectively.
