Excerpt
Introduction: During the past decade or two, inorganic salts, particularly in the liquid state, have assumed increasing importance in a variety of applications. They are useful as reaction media, in metallurgical processes, and in electrochemical power sources such as fuel cells and thermal batteries. Experimentalists and theoreticians have found molten salts an interesting subject for study since these ionic fluids offer an unusual opportunity for the study of short-range ionic interactions in the liquid state. So far, attention in this field has largely been focused on the alkali and alkaline earth halides since their stability at high temperatures is well known.
