1.2.3.4.1 Sodium–sulfur battery. Under normal circumstances, a sodium-sulfur battery consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, a separator, and a casing. It is different from ordinary secondary batteries in that it is composed of molten electrodes and solid electrolytes.
Among these sodium-based storage technologies, room temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries are particularly promising due to their high energy density, up to 1274 Wh·kg −1 4,5,6,7,8.
Sodium-ion batteries are batteries that use sodium ions (tiny particles with a positive charge) instead of lithium ions to store and release energy. Sodium-ion batteries started showing commercial viability in the 1990s as a possible alternative to lithium-ion batteries, the kind commonly used in phones and electric cars .
In view of the burgeoning demand for energy storage stemming largely from the growing renewable energy sector, the prospects of high (>300 °C), intermediate (100–200 °C) and room temperature (25–60 °C) battery systems are encouraging.
