Sodium sulfur batteries are made from abundant materials which are generally inexpensive. The typical design of the sodium sulfur battery involves a solid electrolyte membrane between anode and cathode encased in a steel cylinder protected with a chromium and molybdenum interior. Molten sodium at the heart of the cell serves as the anode that donates electrons to the external circuit. The sodium core is encased in a beta-alumina solid electrolyte cylinder which facilitates the movement of Na+ ions to the exterior sulfur electrode which serves as the cathode while preventing the two electrodes from shorting.
Based on application, sodium sulfur battery market is segmented into grid and standalone systems, space, transport and heavy machinery. Grid and standalone systems is estimated to dominate the market during the forecast period due to many electric utilities especially in the developing economies adapting the de-centralized way of generating power. Moreover, the electricity generated is majorly from renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, and hydro, among others. The key component of any isolated grid is the energy storage device. This has ultimately made the battery storage a popular choice among the utilities in the energy storage system. All these factors are likely to drive the sodium sulfur battery market.
