The ZEBRA battery must be heated to 270–350°C (518–662°F), a temperature that is lower than the original sodium-sulfur battery. Even though special insulation minimizes heat loss, heating consumes 14 percent of the battery''s energy per day. Since the energy to keep the battery hot is taken from the battery, the resulting parasitic load

However, this new sodium-sulfur battery faced a major challenge that made it difficult to operate: the sodium atom is larger than the lithium atom, so its movement when charging and discharging the battery was more difficult. To solve this, the team added a metallic and organic structure (called MOF) based on iron, an abundant, cheap and sustainable metal,

Researchers at the University of Córdoba have made significant strides in battery technology by developing a sodium-sulphur battery that can be charged and discharged more than 2,000 times. The new design replaces toxic metals in the cathode with sulphur and swaps lithium for sodium in the anode, addressing key environmental and resource concerns
Furthermore, the insoluble polysulfides at the anode cannot be converted back into sulfur when the battery is being recharged, which means that less sulfur is available for the battery to function (capacity loss). [52]

The cell was charged and discharged at room temperature in a constant current density of . some sulfur in the cathode cannot be changed to or . This phenomenon could be explained by dissolution of sulfur or sodium polysulfides into the polymer electrolyte, which could decrease the amount of active material in the cathode.

In the case of a cell failure, the sodium–sulfur battery fails in a high-impedance mode, thus disabling a whole string of cells connected in series upon failure of only one cell. A typical cell design is shown in Figure 11.
In addition to the dissolution of polysulfides, sodium-sulfur batteries also have some difficult problems on the anode. Metal sodium is an excellent electrical conductor, and its corrosion resistance and strong reducibility are ideal active materials for the preparation of anodes.
Structure of sodium–sulfur battery . Sodium β′′-Alumina (beta double-prime alumina) is a fast ion conductor material and is used as a separator in several types of molten salt electrochemical cells.
