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.
Due to the high operating temperature required (usually between 300 and 350 °C), as well as the highly reactive nature of sodium and sodium polysulfides, these batteries are primarily suited for stationary energy storage applications, rather than for use in vehicles.
In this review, achievements and advancements of MXene-based Na–S batteries are discussed, including applications of a sulfur cathode, separator, interlayer between separator and cathode, and sodium anode. In the end, perspectives and challenges on the future development of MXene-based materials in Na–S batteries are proposed.
