Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) hold great promise as a scalable and efficient energy storage solutions for renewable energy systems as compared to its several counterparts.
Traditionally, much of the global vanadium supply has been used to strengthen metal alloys such as steel. Because this vanadium application is still the leading driver for its production, it’s possible that flow battery suppliers will also have to compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply.
As an important branch of RFBs, all-vanadium RFBs (VRFBs) have become the most commercialized and technologically mature batteries among current RFBs due to their intrinsic safety, no pollution, high energy efficiency, excellent charge and discharge performance, long cycle life, and excellent capacity-power decoupling .
Among the various types of RFBs, vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) stands out for its ability to eliminate cross-contamination between electrolytes, a common issue in other flow battery chemistries which induces self-discharge of the device.
The membranes employed in vanadium flow batteries can be grouped into ion exchange membranes and physical separators; however, this topic will only focus on ion exchange membranes .
Flow batteries average between 70%-85% round-trip efficiency, compared with 90%-95% average for Li-ion batteries, potentially affecting the economics of projects based around bulk shifting of energy.
