Abstract

Molten salt is a corrosive, high temperature environment which is extremely challenging for sensing technologies. Microelectrodes are well-positioned as high fidelity electrochemical sensors and previous work has delivered microelectrodes capable of operating in such conditions. However, the lifetime of these sensors requires improvement. This work investigates the origins of device failure.
