Comprehending the progressive structure of molten salts by deep potential molecular dynamics for high-temperature heat storage
Source abstract
Abstract
The DP-GEN enhanced sampling method is adopted to construct the potential function of a NaCl–KCl–Na 2 CO 3 molten salt, and the characteristic configurations formed by the coordination of Na + and K + with surrounding anions are clarified.
