SODIUM SULFUR BATTERIES
There are several prototypes of sodium sulfur that operate at lower temperatures and offer the potential for a safer, less expensive, and more durable alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
View DetailsEnergy density: The high energy density (110 Wh/kg) and power density (150 W/kg) of sodium sulfur batteries make them ideal for use in various applications. Low-cost materials: As sodium salt is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, sodium sulfur batteries cost less than other batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries . 5.
Although molten sodium batteries continue to grow as a relatively mature technology, sodium-ion batteries (NaIBs) are making advances toward large-scale commercialization. Many developers envision NaIBs as safer alternatives to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, including applications for portable electronics and vehicle electrification.
Sodium-based battery technology is believed to be a viable alternative to lithium-based batteries. However, the quest for new solid electrolytes has focused on achieving four key requirements: easy fabrication, low cost, chemical stability, and mechanical stability.
However, sodium–sulfur batteries have to be kept at high temperatures above 300 °C to keep the reactants liquid, which entails additional effort for heating and thermal insulation, while relatively low round-trip efficiency and further safety concerns over its explosiveness have constrained its wide-scale implementation.
