My physics is very rusty. Why is molton salt more efficient than water for heat transfer? Is it simply that you can get it up to higher temperatures and heat systems are more efficient at high temperatures?

High temperature, low pressure.

You can use water, sodium, lead, fluoride salts. All have their different issues.
