Molten-salt batteries are a class of battery that uses molten salts as an electrolyte and offers both a high energy density and a high power density. Traditional non-rechargeable thermal batteries can be stored in their solid state at room temperature for long periods of time before being activated by heating.
Ambri Incorporated is an American startup company which aims to produce molten-salt batteries for energy storage in wind and solar power systems. [1] In 2016 it had thirty-seven employees. [ 2 ]
Cut-away schematic diagram of a sodium–sulfur battery. A sodium–sulfur (NaS) battery is a type of molten-salt battery that uses liquid sodium and liquid sulfur electrodes. [1] [2] This type of battery has a similar energy density to lithium-ion batteries, [3] and is fabricated from inexpensive and low-toxicity materials.
When electricity is needed, the hot molten salt is pumped to a conventional steam-generator to produce superheated steam for driving a conventional turbine/generator set as used in any coal, oil, or nuclear power plant. A 100-megawatt turbine would need a tank of about 9.1 metres (30 ft) tall and 24 metres (79 ft) in diameter to drive it for ...
