Introduction Sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries with sodium metal anode and elemental sulfur cathode separated by a solid-state electrolyte (e.g., beta-alumina electrolyte) membrane have been utilized practically in stationary energy storage systems because of the natural abundance and low-cost of sodium and sulfur, and long-cycling stability , .
The lithium-ion batteries also suffer from an inferior performance at low temperature due to the compounding effects of restricted transport properties of the electrolyte, slow charge transfer rates and sluggish ion-diffusion within the bulk of the active materials , , .
