高温熔盐中电极过程原位分析实验装置研发与教学应用

Development and Teaching Application of the In-situ Analysis Experimental Setup of Electrode Process in High-temperature Molten Salt

  • 摘要: 高温熔盐电化学在冶金、能源、环境、材料、化工等学科有着广泛的应用。然而,苛刻的反应条件和复杂的反应器结构使得高温熔盐内部处于“黑箱”之中,电极过程的真实、实时数据极度匮乏。为此,借助X射线计算机断层扫描技术(CT)无损、非接触和可穿透的特点,结合高温熔盐电化学实际工况需求,开发了熔盐中电极过程原位CT可视化实验装置,将该原位装置与实验室CT仪和电化学工作站联合使用,就可以实时捕获高温熔盐中电极三维形貌及成分随时间的定量演化过程。所得原位可视化结果可以帮助学生直观地理解高温熔盐电化学,特别是“黑箱”内部的动力学行为,在助力学生掌握专业知识的同时增加教学的趣味性,提高学生对该学科的兴趣和积极性。

     

    Abstract: High-temperature molten-salt electrochemistry has a wide range of applications in many disciplines such as metallurgy, energy, environment, material, and chemistry. However, the harsh reaction condition and the complex cell structure put molten-salt electrochemistry into a “black box”, which further limits the collection of the actual and real-time information on electrode process. To end this challenge, according to the advantages of the X-ray computed tomography (CT), such as non-destructive, non-contact, and penetrable, and the technological requirements of high-temperature molten-salt electrochemistry, this paper developed an in-situ CT visualization device. The quantitative evolution process of the electrode process in high-temperature molten salt could be captured in real time by combing the in-situ CT visualization device, laboratory CT instrument, and electrochemical working station. The obtained results may help students visually comprehend the high-temperature molten-salt electrochemistry, particularly the kinetic behavior in the “black box”. The novel in-situ device and the unprecedented findings based on this device can not only help students to master the professional knowledge, but also make teaching more interesting, enhancing the interest and enthusiasm of students on this subject.
