Correlative analysis of Ni(ii) coordination states in molten salts using a combination of X-ray and optical spectroscopies and simulations
Understanding the factors that control the speciation of metal ions in molten salts is crucial for the successful deployment of molten salts in both concentrated solar power and nuclear energy applications. The speciation of the Ni(II) ion is of interest because it is a common corrosion product, and the distribution of coordination states it occupies […]
