Abstract Concentrated solar power is a highly promising renewable energy technology that enables cascaded utilization of electricity and can complement other renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic power. Based on domestic and international research on concentrated solar power technology, this review summarizes the research progress in thermal energy storage molten salts for concentrated solar power applications. Molten salt is an ideal medium for energy transfer and storage in thermal energy storage systems for concentrated solar power due to its excellent thermophysical properties including high heat capacity, high thermal conductivity, and low viscosity. Molten salt energy storage offers advantages such as large storage capacity, long storage cycles, and low costs, making it widely applicable in areas such as concentrated solar power, molten salt reactors, heating, and waste heat recovery. This paper first introduces the advantages and development of concentrated solar power technology, followed by a summary of the main characteristics and advancements in thermal energy storage molten salts. It also discusses newly developed salt compositions and the thermophysical properties of molten salt nanofluids. Finally, the paper summarizes and looks forward to the development of next-generation thermal energy storage molten salts is presented. The aim is to provide insights into the technological advancements in thermal energy storage molten salts for the design, manufacturing, and operation maintenance of next-generation energy transfer and storage systems.

Key words： concentrated solar power molten salt molten salt energy storage molten salt corrosion
