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 an In-Situ Analysis Experimental Device for Electrode Processes 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,可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 disciplines such as metallurgy, energy, environment, materials, and chemical engineering. However, the harsh reaction conditions and the complex reactor structure place the interior of the molten salt in a “black box”, resulting in an extreme scarcity of authentic, real-time data on electrode processes. To address this, leveraging the non-destructive, non-contact, and penetrable characteristics of X-ray computed tomography (CT), and considering the actual operational requirements of high-temperature molten salt electrochemistry, this paper develops an in-situ CT visualization experimental device for electrode processes in molten salt. By combining this in-situ device with a laboratory CT instrument and an electrochemical workstation, the quantitative evolution process of the three-dimensional morphology and composition of electrodes in high-temperature molten salt over time can be captured in real time. The obtained in-situ visualization results can help students intuitively comprehend high-temperature molten salt electrochemistry, particularly the kinetic behavior inside the “black box”. This can not only help students to master professional knowledge, but also increase the interest and engagement of teaching, enhancing students’ interest and enthusiasm in this subject.
