A sodium–sulfur (NaS) battery is a type of molten-salt battery that uses liquid sodium and liquid sulfur electrodes. This type of battery has a similar energy density to lithium-ion batteries, and is fabricated from inexpensive and low-toxicity materials.
Sodium batteries have shown great potential, and hence several researchers are working on improving the battery performance of the various sodium batteries. This paper is a brief review of the current research in sodium-sulfur and sodium-air batteries. 1. Introduction
Sodium sulfur batteries have gained popularity because of the wide availability of sodium and its stable operation in all temperature levels. They act as a reliable element of storage technology due to their high value of specific energy density and are comparatively cheaper than the other storage devices.
At 350 °C, the specific energy density of the battery reached 760 Wh/kg, which is approximately three times that of a lead-acid battery. As a result, sodium-sulfur batteries require approximately one-third of the area needed for lead-acid batteries in identical commercial applications .
Lifetime is claimed to be 15 year or 4500 cycles and the efficiency is around 85%. Sodium sulfur batteries have one of the fastest response times, with a startup speed of 1 ms. The sodium sulfur battery has a high energy density and long cycle life. There are programmes underway to develop lower temperature sodium sulfur batteries.
Utility-scale sodium–sulfur batteries are manufactured by only one company, NGK Insulators Limited (Nagoya, Japan), which currently has an annual production capacity of 90 MW . The sodium sulfur battery is a high-temperature battery. It operates at 300°C and utilizes a solid electrolyte, making it unique among the common secondary cells.
