One of the major challenges for development of low-cost low-temperature Na-based LMBs is selection of the molten salt electrolytes with the best thermo-chemical properties (melting temperature, corrosivity, Na solubility regarding self-discharge) and the lowest cost. In this work, current research progress on selection of the best molten salt electrolytes for low-cost low-temperature (<450°C) Na-based LMBs will be presented. The commercial software for thermodynamic calculations – FactSage® is used to simulate the phase diagrams of molten halogen salts for screening the promising electrolytes. Furthermore, thermo-analysis via Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), immersion tests of alloy samples, and Na solubility measurements are perfor...
