Interfacial ion aggregation at SiO 2 nanoparticles enhances thermal energy storage of chloride molten salts: a molecular dynamics study
Abstract
nanoparticles leads to the formation of a compressed interfacial layer roughly 6 Å in thickness, which contributes to the enhancement in thermal conductivity. This study offers valuable insights for the design and optimization of chloride molten salt-based nanocomposites for next-generation CSP systems.
