Molten Salt Techniques for Reproducible Excess Heat

摘要

Summary of Major Accomplishments: Experimental Results: Electrochemicalcharacterization of Ni electrode system in the hydride-containing molten salts. Calorimetry measurements of anomalous temperature excursion in the electrolysis of the Ni-H-based molten salt systems. Overview and Conclusion: The excess heat generation in molten salt systems are progressing well through the increasing understanding of electrochemical behavior of the cell and the availability of a variety of electrode materials used in the cell. Several issues are still open for improvements: the control of the cell behavior, the integrity of anode materials, the role of impurities in excess heat generation, and the threshold
