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).
The review focuses on the progress, prospects and challenges of sodium-sulfur batteries operating at high temperature (~ 300 °C). This paper also includes the recent development and progress of room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. 1. Introduction
The doped nitrogen sites and the polar surface of nickel sulfide can improve the adsorption capacity of polysulfides and provide strong catalytic activity for the oxidation of polysulfides, indicating that sodium–sulfur batteries can have longer cycle life, high performance, and quick charge and discharge.
In summary, in order to obtain a room temperature sodium–sulfur battery with stable cycle performance and long life, the most important task of the separator is to guide the migration of Na + and inhibit the shuttle of polysulfides. Sodium polysulfide dissolved in the electrolyte must pass through the separator to reach the anode.
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.
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.
