Sodium metal is primarily used as a chemical reagent and reducing agent, where its high reactivity enables metal reduction and synthesis of specialty inorganic compounds.1 In nuclear energy systems, liquid sodium has been used as a heat-transfer coolant because of its high thermal conductivity and low neutron absorption.2 Sodium metal is employed in organic synthesis and industrial chemistry, including reactions that require strong electron donation or alkali metal mediation.1,3 In electrochemical storage, sodium metal serves as the active electrode material in sodium-sulfur batteries developed for large-scale grid energy storage.1,3 Because of its controlled reactivity, sodium metal is handled and supplied for laboratory research and specialty manufacturing applications where precise stoichiometry is required.4
