In-Situ Investigation of Ambient and Sub-Ambient Sodium-Sulfur Discharge Mechanism in Glyme Ethers

Abstract

This work identifies optimal chemical (monoglyme) and environmental environments (0C) for the reaction between sodium and sulfur, so that this high energy pairing may be exploited for low-cost energy storage ($1/kWh). It is of particular interest to naval applications that sub-ambient temperatures (here 0C) enhance the system performance, since air and sea operations often require this temperature range.
