Dear Colleagues,
Molten salts have been regarded as one of the most promising candidate heat transfer fluids (HTF) and thermal energy storage (TES) materials in the fields of electrometallurgy, thermal energy storage, concentrating solar power, nuclear energy, etc., due to the relatively low cost, superior thermophysical properties and abundant reserves in nature. From the thermodynamic viewpoint, pure molten salt is very stable and not corrosive. Actually, the corrosion property of molten salt cannot be ignored and has received increased attention worldwide because of the inevitable impurities of molten salt during the process of preparation and operation. In sever cases, the pipelines in contact with the molten salt can have holes corroded into them, leading to the high-temperature molten salt gushing out, then the whole system is down due to this serious accident. Thus, the compatibility of structural materials and molten salt is quite important and critical for choosing appropriate materials and molten salt in practice. Many influence factors such as temperature, redox, corrosion product, flow velocity, stress, and friction can cause the corrosion of the structural materials in molten salt. With the increasing commercial application in practice, the corrosion issues of molten salt receive increasing attention to solve the corrosion problems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
