Their use in molten salts has been generally precluded by the combined materials challenges of stresses associated with thermal cycling and physical and corrosive chemical degradation at the relatively high temperatures involved. We have shown that microfabrication, employing high precision photolithographic patterning in combination with the controlled deposition of materials, can be used to successfully address these challenges. The resulting molten salt compatible microelectrodes (MSMs) enable prolonged quantitative microelectrode measurements in molten salts (MSs). This paper reports the fabrication of novel MSM disc electrodes, chosen because they have an established ambient analytical response. It includes a detailed set of electrochemical characterisation studies which demonstrate both their enhanced capability over macroelectrodes and over commercial glass pulled microelectrodes, and their ability to extract quantitative electroanalytical information from MS systems. MSM measurements are then used to demonstrate their potential for shedding new light on the fundamental properties of, and processes in, MSs, such as mass transport, charge transfer reaction rates and the selective plating\/stripping and alloying reactions of liquid Bi and other metals; this will underpin the development of enhanced MS industrial processes, including pyrochemical spent nuclear fuel reprocessing.\n                  <\/p>","DOI":"10.1039\/c6fd00002a","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,11]],"date-time":"2016-02-11T12:08:34Z","timestamp":1455192514000},"page":"351-366","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1039\/rsc_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Advances in electroanalysis, sensing and monitoring in molten salts"],"prefix":"10.1039","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Damion K.","family":"Corrigan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"EaStCHEM"},{"name":"School of Chemistry"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin P.","family":"Elliott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EaStCHEM"},{"name":"School of Chemistry"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewen O.","family":"Blair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SMC"},{"name":"School of Engineering"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon J.","family":"Reeves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EaStCHEM"},{"name":"School of Chemistry"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilka","family":"Schm\u00fcser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SMC"},{"name":"School of Engineering"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony J.","family":"Walton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SMC"},{"name":"School of Engineering"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew R.","family":"Mount","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EaStCHEM"},{"name":"School of Chemistry"},{"name":"The University of Edinburgh"},{"name":"Edinburgh"},{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"292","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"reference":[{"key":"C6FD00002A-(cit1)\/*[position()=1]","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.1038\/35030069","volume":"407","author":"Chen","year":"2000","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"C6FD00002A-(cit2)\/*[position()=1]","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.2172\/1058922","volume-title":"Thermal Properties of LiCl\u2013KCl Molten Salt for Nuclear Waste Separation, Project No. 09-780","author":"Sridharan","year":"2012","unstructured":"K.\n            Sridharan\n          , Thermal Properties of LiCl\u2013KCl Molten Salt for Nuclear Waste Separation, Project No. 09-780, Nuclear Energy University Programs, US Department of Energy, 2012"},{"key":"C6FD00002A-(cit3)\/*[position()=1]","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"647","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpcs.2004.07.022","volume":"66","author":"Nawada","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
