Are rechargeable room-temperature sodium–sulfur and sodium-selenium batteries suitable for large-scale energy storage?

You have full access to this open access article Rechargeable room-temperature sodium–sulfur (Na–S) and sodium–selenium (Na–Se) batteries are gaining extensive attention for potential large-scale energy storage applications owing to their low cost and high theoretical energy density.

Can sodium and sulfur be used in electrochemical energy storage systems?

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).

Which energy storage solutions will be the leading energy storage solution in MENA?

Electrochemical storage (batteries) will be the leading energy storage solution in MENA in the short to medium terms, led by sodium-sulfur (NaS) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries.

Can sodium-sulfur batteries operate at high temperature?

The review focuses on the progress, prospects and challenges of sodium-sulfur batteries operating at high temperature (~ 300 °C). This paper also includes the recent development and progress of room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. 1. Introduction

What are the electrochemical properties of a sodium-sulfur battery?

The electrochemical properties of a high temperature (~ 300 °C) sodium-sulfur battery were reported by Kummer and Weber . At this high temperature β″-alumina ceramic electrolyte showed high sodium ion conductivity and therefore the Na-S battery could operate effectively.
