In order to improve the performance of mixed molten salts,ternary nitrate salt was prepared by analytical reagent LiNO3,NaNO3 and KNO3(38∶15∶47 by molar ratio),and added SiO2 nanoparticles (10nm) with mass fraction of 0.3%,0.5%,0.7%,1.0%,1.3% and 1.5%,respectively,6 different nano-molten salts were prepared.Experimental study on the melting point,fusion latent heat,specific heat and decomposition temperature of ternary nitrate and nano-molten salt used simultaneous thermal analysis(STA).The results showed that the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles can significantly enhance the latent heat of fusion,specific heat and decomposition temperature of ternary nitrate,and its effect on melting point was not obvious.Compared with ternary nitrate,the melting point of nano-molten salt was decreased by a maximum 1.2℃,the latent heat of fusion was increased by up to 17.5J/g,increased 9.3~19.6℃ of decomposition temperature,and the specific heat increased by 14.7~24.5%.
