NEUP CINR-18-15153: Understanding Molten Salt Chemistry Relevant to Advanced Molten Salt Reactors through Complementary Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Modeling

The goal of the proposed research is to understand molten salt chemistry relevant to advanced molten salt reactors through complementary synthesis, spectroscopy, and modeling. By synergy of precision synthesis, operando spectroscopy, and high-performance computing, we aim to achieve atomistic and molecular-level understanding of liquid structure, coordination geometry, chemical bonding, and reactivity of novel molten salt melts relevant to advanced molten reactor designs.
