How Sodium and Sulfur Power Utility-Scale Batteries

Discover how abundant sodium and sulfur are engineered into utility-scale batteries, providing reliable, large-scale storage for power grids.

Sodium–sulfur battery

OverviewOperationConstructionSafetyDevelopmentApplicationsExternal links

During the discharge phase, molten elemental sodium at the core serves as the anode, meaning that the Na donates electrons to the external circuit. The sodium is separated by a beta-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE) cylinder from the container of molten sulfur, which is fabricated from an inert metal serving as the cathode. The sulfur is absorbed in a carbon sponge. BASE is a good conductor of sodium ions above 250 °C, but a poor conductor of electrons, and thus av

Sodium-Sulphur (NaS) Battery

While most of the installed base of NaS batteries is in Japan and in the USA, the first European projects have been installed in Reunion Island (France), Germa-ny, and the UK.
