Technical FAQs 4

Are vanadium flow batteries a good choice for energy storage?

Vanadium flow batteries are one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies due to their long cycle life, high recyclability, and safety credentials. However, they have lower energy density compared to ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries, and their uptake is held back by high upfront cost.

Are vanadium redox flow batteries cost-effective?

Learn more. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage, but their commercialization is hindered by the high cost of vanadium electrolytes. This study introduces a cost-effective Mn-V/V redox flow battery by partially replacing vanadium ions with abundant manganese ions.

Are there any vanadium flow batteries in the United States?

The United States has some vanadium flow battery installations, albeit at a smaller scale. One is a microgrid pilot project in California that was completed in January 2022.

Does vanadium have a supply chain problem?

But vanadium comes with its own supply chain issues. As the adoption of long-duration energy storage grows, demand for vanadium will skyrocket. Pure vanadium is rarely naturally occurring, though, and it’s usually mined as a byproduct or is otherwise found in compounds. Current production is segmented in China, Russia, and South Africa.
