| Abstract Scope |
The presence of moisture in molten salts impacts their electrochemical and corrosion behavior. However, systematic studies on the effect of moisture on the electrochemical behavior of molten salts using electroanalytical techniques are lacking. This work seeks to provide an analysis of moisture within molten calcium chloride through various electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and chronoamperometry are performed and their associated relations are applied to characterize the behavior of hydrogen ions in molten calcium chloride. Also, Karl Fischer titration and electrochemical signals are also investigated as a potential ex-situ and in-situ methods, respectively, to quantify the moisture content of various samples from pure, molten CaCl2 containing differing amounts of moisture. |
