| Abstract Scope | Molten halide salts are used in various technologically important applications like molten salt reactors and concentrated solar power. A major challenge of molten salts is their corrosivity towards structural materials. However, most of the complex interfacial phenomena related to molten salt corrosion are not well understood. This talk will present an overview of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques and associated spectroscopies such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) to understand key corrosion events and chemical processes at the interface. This talk will highlight our recent work on utilizing novel quasi in situ TEM technique to study time-dependent evolution of corrosion damage as well as the EELS technique to identify changes in oxidation states of dissolved alloying elements. This work was supported as part of the Molten Salts in Extreme Environments Energy Frontier Research Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. |
