Abstract

Abstract : 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 number1602829 . Additionally, current challenges and future perspectives are discussed, and potential research directions toward improving RT‐Na/S cells are proposed.
