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.
Sodium sulfur battery is one of the most promising candidates for energy storage applications developed since the 1980s . The battery is composed of sodium anode, sulfur cathode and beta-Al 2 O 3 ceramics as electrolyte and separator simultaneously.
The batteries produced have high cycle life, nearly 2500 cycles to fully depth of discharge . Sodium sulfur battery has been adopted in different applications, such as load leveling, emergency power supply and uninterrupted power supply .
Tubular configuration of the sodium sulfur battery allows the volume change of the electrodes during cycling and minimizes the sealing area and therefore become the popular design for practical battery design , , , . Fig. 1 illustrates the tubular design of sodium sulfur battery with central sodium electrode.
Since no pumps, valves or exchangers are necessary in the batteries, only field maintenance requirements are limited to periodic inspection and cleaning. Sodium sulfur battery is environmentally benign, since the battery is completely sealed and allows no emissions during operation. More than 99 wt.% of the battery materials can be recycled.
The open circuit voltage of the cell at 350 °C is 2.075 V. Sodium sulfur battery usually works at the temperature raging between 300 and 350 °C, at which sodium and sulfur as well as the reaction product polysulfide exist in liquid state, which affords high reactivity of the electrodes.
