Sodium-sulfur (Na–S) batteries that utilize earth-abundant materials of Na and S have been one of the hottest topics in battery research. The low cost and high energy density make them promising candidates for next-generation storage technologies as required in the grid and renewable energy.
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.
H.S.C. Matseelar, in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2014 Sodium sulfur (NAS) battery is an advanced secondary battery has been pioneered in Japan since 1983 by the Tokyo Electric Power Corporation (TEPCO) and NGK .
High-temperature sodium–sulfur (HT Na–S) batteries were first developed for electric vehicle (EV) applications due to their high theoretical volumetric energy density. In 1968, Kummer et al. from Ford Motor Company first released the details of the HT Na–S battery system using a β″-alumina solid electrolyte .
This paper presents a review of the state of technology of sodium-sulfur batteries suitable for application in energy storage requirements such as load leveling; emergency power supplies and uninterruptible power supply. The review focuses on the progress, prospects and challenges of sodium-sulfur batteries operating at high temperature (~ 300 °C).
