Abstract:
Electrochemical cells and methods are described that can be utilized for the recovery of tritium directly from a molten lithium metal solution without the need for a separation or concentration step prior to the electrolytic recovery process. The methods and systems utilize an on conducting electrolyte that conducts either lithium ion or tritide ion across the electrochemical cell.
