Investigation of solubility of foreign materials in Solar Salt

What to expect:

The work relates to a deeper material understanding of molten nitrate storage systems in commercial concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. In future, these storage systems can also be used for green industrial processes and large-scale electricity storage systems (Carnot batteries). The planned work for the master thesis focuses on solubility aspects and builds on previous work and existing experimental setups of the research group.

The main tasks include carrying out solubility experiments of salt decomposition and/or corrosion products in molten nitrate salts and evaluating the results with regards to the use of molten salt storage systems for end user applications. The work is integrated into a team with experienced staff for support.

What we expect from you:

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
