英文摘要:

      With the rapid development of the global economy, the energy crisis is becoming aculeate increasingly. As a new source of renewable energy, solar energy is attracting increasing attention. Therefore, how to achieve effective utilizations of solar energy resource is worth being further studied. Due to their excellent heat transfer characteristic, molten salts play a significant role in petrochemical, batteries and metallurgical industries, particularly in solar power generation and solar hydrogen production. Nitrate molten salts are good candidates for their excellent pro-perties of heat storage. The properties of nitrate molten salts is explored. On one hand, the application of the system in thermal energy storage is discussed. On the other hand, recent research progress on physical and chemical properties of the system is mainly introduced, such as the operating temperature range, thermodynamic properties, thermal stability and so on. Lastly, some new trends in their development are pointed out, which has unique importance to both energy development and environmental protection.
