Although the reactants, and particularly sodium, can behave explosively, modern cells are generally reliable. However a fire was reported in 2012 at a sodium sulfur battery installation in Japan. In order to create a workable cell from these elements, the sodium and sulfur must be separated from each other by an impermeable electrolyte.
Molten sulfur and molten sodium are used as the electrode materials for the sodium-sulfur batteries. This kind of battery operates at higher temperatures ranging from 300°C to 350°C.
