Atomistic simulations of molten carbonates: Thermodynamic and transport properties of the Li2CO3—Na2CO3—K2CO3 system

Although molten carbonates only represent, at most, a very minor phase in the Earth’s mantle, they are thought to be implied in anomalous high-conductivity zones in its upper part (70–350 km). Besides, the high electrical conductivity of these molten salts is also exploitable in fuel cells. Here, we...
