Simple, sensitive reference electrodes are described for use in direct current measurement of fused salt conductivity. They consist of silver wires dipping into a very dilute solution of Ag + in the salt under investigation. The ternary eutectic of LiNOs, NaNO3, and KNO3 was chosen to demonstrate the technique. Specific conductivity of the system was measured from 134 ~ to 384~
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
