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.
Early work on the sodium sulfur battery took place at the Ford Motor Co in the 1960s but modern sodium sulfur technology was developed in Japan by the Tokyo Electric Power Co, in collaboration with NGK insulators and it is these two companies that have commercialized the technology. Typical units have a rated power output of 50 kW and 400 kWh.
This paper briefly describes sodium sulfur (NAS) battery development with emphasis on the program to establish the technology for the use of a β-alumina solid electrolyte. Since the mid-1980s, NGK INSULATORS, LTD.
Sodium sulfur battery is one of the most promising candidates for energy storage applications. This paper describes the basic features of sodium sulfur battery and summarizes the recent development of sodium sulfur battery and its applications in stationary energy storage.
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.
Advanced battery constructions appeared since the 1980s. Previously, the research work on sodium sulfur battery was mainly focused on electric vehicle application, main institutions engaged in the research include Ford, GE, GE/CSPL, CGE, Yuasa, Dow, British Rail, BBC and the SICCAS.
Sodium Sulfur Batteries
Sodium-sulfur batteries differ from other regularly used secondary batteries due to their larger temperature operating range. Typically, these batteries function between 250°C and 300°C with molten electrode material and solid electrolyte [22] 1960, Ford Motor Company utilized sodium-sulfur batteries for the first time in a commercial capacity [23].
