Technical FAQs 4

Are vanadium redox flow batteries sustainable?

In the pursuit of sustainable and reliable energy storage solutions, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries offer a compelling combination of safety, longevity, and recyclability - key attributes of any truly environmentally friendly and long-duration energy storage technology.

What is a vanadium ion battery?

With the aim to address these challenges, we herein present the vanadium ion battery (VIB), an advanced energy storage technology tailored to meet the stringent demands of large-scale ESS applications. The VIB is based on an advanced electrochemical framework integrating all-vanadium chemistry with a streamlined cell architecture.

What is a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB)?

In contrast, technologies like vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) rely on reusable liquid electrolytes and recyclable hardware, enabling a more robust and predictable pathway toward circular energy storage.

What is a aqueous vanadium ion battery (VIB)?

First real-world demonstration of aqueous vanadium ion battery (VIB). Maintains over 99 % of initial capacity over 12,000 cycles at 20 C-rate. Achieved 98.1 % round-trip energy efficiency at 1 C-rate. Enables safe and reversible full discharge to 0 V without degradation.
