Technical FAQs 4

What is a vanadium redox flow battery?

To address this specific gap, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) have emerged as a powerful and promising technology tailored for large-scale energy storage , . The defining characteristic of a VRFB is the unique decoupling of its power and energy capacity.

Does vanadium degrade?

First, vanadium doesn’t degrade. “If you put 100 grams of vanadium into your battery and you come back in 100 years, you should be able to recover 100 grams of that vanadium—as long as the battery doesn’t have some sort of a physical leak,” says Brushett.

Why is vanadium a problem?

However, as the grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, more and more flow batteries will be needed to provide long-duration storage. Demand for vanadium will grow, and that will be a problem. “Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult,” says Rodby.

What is the Y axis of Vanadium prices?

Vanadium prices and corresponding electrolyte prices from 1980 through 2021. The left-hand Y axis measures the market price of vanadium pentoxide, a common source of vanadium sold on the global market. The right-hand Y axis translates those prices into prices for vanadium-based electrolytes for flow batteries.
