Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage projects. Also known as the vanadium redux battery (VRB) or vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), VFBs are a type of long duration energy storage (LDES) capable of providing from two to more than 10 hours of energy on demand.
One disadvantage of vanadium redox-flow batteries is the low volumetric energy storage capacity, limited by the solubilities of the active species in the electrolyte. The cost of vanadium may be acceptable, because it is a relatively abundant material, which exists naturally in ~65 different minerals and fossil fuel deposits.
Lithium-ion batteries have dominated the ESS market to date. However, they have inherent limitations when used for long-duration energy storage, including low recyclability and a reliance on “conflict minerals” such as cobalt.
