In September 2014, a study described an arrangement using a molten alloy of lead and antimony for the positive electrode, liquid lithium for the negative electrode; and a molten mixture of lithium salts as the electrolyte. A recent innovation is the PbBi alloy which enables lower melting point lithium-based 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.
The ZEBRA battery is a type of rechargeable molten salt battery based on commonly available and low-cost materials – primarily nickel metal, the sodium and chloride from conventional table salt, as well beta-alumina solid electrolyte. It is technically known as the sodium–nickel–chloride battery, and sometimes as a sodium–metal–halide ...
The denatured molten-salt reactor (DMSR) was an Oak Ridge theoretical design that was never built. Engel et al. 1980 said the project "examined the conceptual feasibility of a molten-salt power reactor fueled with denatured uranium-235 (i.e. with low-enriched uranium) and operated with a minimum of chemical processing."
When electricity is needed, the hot molten salt is pumped to a conventional steam-generator to produce superheated steam for driving a conventional turbine/generator set as used in any coal, oil, or nuclear power plant. A 100-megawatt turbine would need a tank of about 9.1 metres (30 ft) tall and 24 metres (79 ft) in diameter to drive it for ...
Per the WCSO, the charges still "reflect serious charges of aggravated battery, aggravated child abuse, and false imprisonment." Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. — where the suspect was taken into custody ...
Molten salts can also be electrolytes as, for example, when sodium chloride is molten, the liquid conducts electricity. In particular, ionic liquids, which are molten salts with melting points below 100 °C, [15] are a type of highly conductive non-aqueous electrolytes and thus have found more and more applications in fuel cells and batteries.

A new critter is creeping into the United States' waters. The invasive Australian redclaw crayfish has been spotted in southern Texas, roughly 8,000 miles from its home. The freshwater crustacean ...
