Sodium‐Sulfur Batteries: Room‐Temperature Sodium‐Sulfur Batteries: A Comprehensive Review on Research Progress and Cell Chemistry (Adv. Energy Mater. 24/2017)

Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT-Na/S) batteries hold great promise for future large-scale stationary applications. This emerging technology consists of sodium anode and sulfur cathode, both of which are nontoxic, easily accessible, abundant and low cost as well. Recent progress on the crucial cathode materials, electrolytes, separators, and cell configuration are summarized by Yun-Xiao Wang, Shu-Lei Chou, and co-workers in article number 1602829. Additionally, current challenges and future perspectives are discussed, and potential research directions toward improving RT-Na/S cells are proposed.
