Sodium-sulfur battery systems are proving critical for long-duration energy storage in extreme temperature environments, offering a scalable, cost-effective solution to stabilize grids and
Rechargeable room-temperature sodium–sulfur (Na–S) and sodium–selenium (Na–Se) batteries are gaining extensive attention for potential large-scale energy storage applications owing to their low cost and high theoretical energy density.
Sodium also has high natural abundance and a respectable electrochemical reduction potential (−2.71 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode). Combining these two abundant elements as raw materials in an energy storage context leads to the sodium–sulfur battery (NaS).
For grid storage, the molten sodium-sulfur (Na-S) battery holds many advantages including the high natural abundance of sulfur and sodium for low-cost and higher energy density (theoretical specific energy density of 760 W h/kg) when compared to vanadium redox flow and lead-acid batteries, .
The as-developed sodium–sulfur batteries deliver high capacity and long cycling stability. To date, batteries based on alkali metal-ion intercalating cathode and anode materials, such as lithium-ion batteries, have been widely used in modern society from portable electronics to electric vehicles 1.
