Free QuoteSodium 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.
Overall, the combination of high voltage and relatively low mass promotes both sodium and sulfur to be employed as electroactive compounds in electrochemical energy storage systems for obtaining high specific energy, especially at intermediate and high temperatures (100–350 °C). 4.
Sodium-sulfur batteries have long offered high potential for grid-scale stationary energy storage, due to their low cost and high theoretical energy density of both sodium and sulfur. However, they have also been seen as an inferior alternative and their widespread use has been limited by low energy capacity and short life cycles.
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.
On September 2002, AEP hosted the first demonstration project in USA, DOE and NYSERDA joined in a three year program to demonstrate sodium sulfur battery system as large as 1.2 MW/7.2 MWh from NGK for electric energy storage in 2004, indicating the possibility for the commercial application of sodium sulfur battery other than in Japan itself.
