Design and thermal properties of a novel ternary chloride eutectics for high-temperature solar energy storage

Recent Investigations of Phase Change Materials Use in Solar Thermal Energy Storage System

“…It is well known that the alkali halides are the materials with high-melting point (the temperature more than 600°C), such as fluorides, chlorides, and their eutectic salts. In order to meet the needs of solar energy storage, Wei et al [86] and Du et al [87] et al chose the ternary chloride salt NaCl/-CaCl 2 /MgCl 2 to study the thermal properties. And the lowest eutectic temperature was 424.05°C which was in good agreement with experimental results of 424°C measured by DSC.…”

Development of NaCl–MgCl2–CaCl2 Ternary Salt for High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Using Machine Learning

“…12 Wei et al have developed a novel NaCl−MgCl 2 −CaCl 2 eutectic ternary chloride salt, which shows significant potential for high-temperature solar TES based on its thermal properties such as specific heat capacity, density, and viscosity. 13 Du et al analyzed the thermal stability of the NaCl−MgCl 2 −CaCl 2 eutectic ternary salt and found that it exhibits good stability below 650 °C. 14 Experimental studies on molten salt structures are challenging due to the difficulties associated with high temperatures, corrosiveness, and toxicity, which can result in fluctuations and errors in experimental data.…”

Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Magnesium Chloride in Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Generation System

“…Molten salt containing magnesium is the high temperature heat transfer and thermal storage fluid in concentrating solar thermal power systems [4]. Wei et al [5] developed a ternary chloride salt mixture containing magnesium and measured thermal properties of heat capacity, density and viscosity at high temperature. Li et al [6] prepared appropriate binary and ternary mixtures with NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, CaCl2, and ZnCl2.…”
