The new sodium-sulfur batteries are also environmentally friendly, driving the clean energy mission forward at a low cost.
The team led by Dr. Shenlong Zhao from the University’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering made use of a molten salt mixture of the constituent materials processed from seawater, which considerably reduces the cost.
After a series of downward revisions in the average price of lithium-ion batteries over the decade, rising raw material costs and inflation resulted in a seven percent increase in 2022“Our sodium battery has the potential to dramatically reduce costs while providing four times as much storage capacity. This is a significant breakthrough for renewable energy development which, although reduces costs in the long term, has had several financial barriers to entry,” said Dr.
Such technology has the "potential to guarantee greater energy security more broadly and allow more countries to join the shift towards decarbonization.” The team fabricated and tested the technology with lab-scale batteries at the University's chemical engineering facility. The next step involves scaling the technology used in the Ah-level pouch cells to commercialize it on a large scale.Room-temperature sodium–sulfur batteries possess high potential for grid-scale stationary energy storage due to their low cost and high energy density.
