A simply constructed, stable, Ni/Ni 2+ saturated reference electrode (SRE) has potential to measure thermodynamic behavior of molten chloride salts more reliably. Like the Ag/Ag + reference electrode (RE), the Ni/Ni 2+ SRE is made of commercially available materials. Initial experiments in molten CaCl 2 and LiCl show the Ag/Ag + RE potential drifting two times faster than the SRE. Furthermore, experiments show the replicability of SREs by comparing two Ni/Ni 2+ SREs with different compositions of NiCl 2 which is supportive of saturated phase behavior.
