Electrochemical Methods for Fundamental Data Measurements in Molten Salts.

Electrochemical methods have been widely applied to measure fundamental data of element ions in molten salts. However, most applications neglected the fundamental premises and assumptions, which could lead to inaccurate results. This study provides a critical review on the methods and examines the limitation of each method in molten salt systems. The important parameters discussed in this work include electron transfer number, diffusion coefficient, formal potential, exchange current density, and charge transfer coefficient. Furthermore, the study discusses good practices to improve and proper applications to obtain accurate data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
