Compared to other energy storage systems, it is certain that vanadium and its applications in RFBs are well-positioned to lead a significant part of the stationary energy storage market in the coming decades due to its many advantages.
Vanadium-based systems such as vanadium redox flow batteries have recently gained much attention. This paper provides a concise overview of the subject of vanadium and its application in redox flow batteries (RFBs).
This study investigates the environmental burdens of lithium-ion and vanadium flow batteries, focusing on their life cycle and their use for renewable energy storage in grid applications.
A vanadium redox flow battery can withstand up to 15,000 cycles, with one in Japan reported to have exceeded 200,000 cycles. However, the upper limit reported in the literature is in the range of 10,000–15,000 cycles.
Results indicate that using a vanadium-based storage system can reduce environmental impact. When manufactured with 100% fresh raw materials, it results in overall lower impacts. However, the impacts are significantly lowered if 50% recycled electrolyte is used, with up to 45.2% lower acidification and 11.1% lower global warming potential.
This is where vanadium-based compounds (V-compounds) with intriguing properties can fit in to fill the gap of the current battery technologies.
