Ultra-large capacity sodium-sulfur solar container battery

4 FAQs about Ultra-large capacity sodium-sulfur solar container battery

What is a sodium sulfur battery?

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.

Are molten sodium-sulfur batteries more energy efficient than lithium-ion batteries?

Despite their very low capital cost and high energy density (300-400 Wh/L), molten sodium–sulfur batteries have not achieved a wide-scale deployment yet compared to lithium-ion batteries: there have been ca. 200 installations, with a combined energy of 5 GWh and power of 0.72 GW, worldwide. vs. 948 GWh for lithium-ion batteries.

Why are sodium sulfur batteries more economical?

Like many high-temperature batteries, sodium–sulfur cells become more economical with increasing size. This is because of the square–cube law: large cells have less relative heat loss, so maintaining their high operating temperatures is easier. Commercially available cells are typically large with high capacities (up to 500 Ah).

Are high-temperature sodium–sulfur batteries safe?

Nature Communications 9, Article number: 3870 (2018) Cite this article High-temperature sodium–sulfur batteries operating at 300–350 °C have been commercially applied for large-scale energy storage and conversion. However, the safety concerns greatly inhibit their widespread adoption.
