The following cell reactions take place: Advantages of the sodium–sulfur battery are their high coulombic efficiency, the use of low-cost materials, and their high expected cycle life. One of the main disadvantages is the so-called ‘thermal self-discharge’ caused by maintaining the battery temperature even under standby conditions.
Although the reactants, and particularly sodium, can behave explosively, modern cells are generally reliable. However a fire was reported in 2012 at a sodium sulfur battery installation in Japan. In order to create a workable cell from these elements, the sodium and sulfur must be separated from each other by an impermeable electrolyte.
It not only consumes active materials and reacts with metallic sodium, but also generates insoluble short-chain polysulfides that are deposited on the surface of the anode, hindering the transmission of electrons, resulting in low coulombic efficiency and reversible capacity of room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries.
