摘      要：To reduce the levelized cost of energy for concentrating solar power(CSP),the outlet temperature of the solar receiver needs to be higher than 700°C in the next-generation *** of extensive engineering application experience,the liquid-based receiver is an attractive receiver technology for the next-generation *** review is focused on four of the most promising liquid-based receivers,including chloride salts,sodium,lead-bismuth,and tin *** challenges of these receivers and corresponding solutions are comprehensively reviewed and *** is concluded that combining salt purification and anti-corrosion receiver materials is promising to tackle the corrosion problems of chloride salts at high *** addition,reducing energy losses of the receiver from sources and during propagation is the most effective way to improve the receiver ***,resolving the sodium fire risk and material compatibility issues could promote the potential application of liquid-metal ***,using multiple heat transfer fluids in one system is also a promising way for the next-generation *** example,the liquid sodium is used as the heat transfer fluid while the molten chloride salt is used as the storage *** the end,suggestions for future studies are proposed to bridge the research gaps for700℃liquid-based receivers.
