The lifetime of three types of AMTEC electrodes is predicted from the rate of grain growth in the electrode. Grain size is related to electrode performance, allowing performance to be correlated with grain growth rate. The rate of growth depends on physical characteristics of each material, including the rates of surface self-diffusion and molecule mobility along grain boundaries. Grain growth rates for molybdenum, rhodium-tungsten and titanium nitride electrodes have been determined experimentally and fit to models in order to predict operating lifetimes of AMTEC electrodes. For lifetimes of 10 years or more, RhxW electrodes may be used at any operating temperature supportable by the electrolyte. TiN electrodes may be used in AMTEC cells only at operating temperatures under 1150 K, and Mo may be used only below 1100 K. .
