New liquid alloy electrode significantly lowers operating temperature of sodium-beta batteries; improved performance

Green Car Congress

More than 300 megawatts of large, cargo container-sized sodium-beta batteries are running in the United States, Japan and Europe, according to Dupont Energy Consulting. They often store electricity generated by rows of solar panels and wind turbines. However, their broader use has been limited because of the high operating temperature.
