The commercial development and current economic incentives associated with energy storage using redox flow batteries (RFBs) are summarised. The analysis is focused on
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) can effectively solve the intermittent renewable energy issues and gradually become the most attractive candidate for large-scale stationary energy storage. However, their low energy density and high cost still bring challenges to the widespread use of VRFBs.
Typically, there are two storage tanks containing vanadium ions in four oxidation states: V 2+, V 3+, VO 2+ (V 4+), and VO 2+ (V 5+). Each tank contains a different redox couple. 1 The positive side of the battery connects to the electrolyte and electrode associated with V 4+ and V 5+ ions.
As an important branch of RFBs, all-vanadium RFBs (VRFBs) have become the most commercialized and technologically mature batteries among current RFBs due to their intrinsic safety, no pollution, high energy efficiency, excellent charge and discharge performance, long cycle life, and excellent capacity-power decoupling .
Vanadium, the key active material in VRFBs, is primarily used in the steel and chemical industries. For example, in Germany, about 90 % of vanadium consumption is for steel production. This demand limits the availability of vanadium for battery production and contributes to higher material costs.
The separation of power and energy capacity allows for independent scaling, which can be useful in industrial applications. These batteries also tend to have a longer cycle life than conventional batteries, as the liquid electrolytes degrade more slowly over time, even with some degree of crossover.
Redox flow batteries, including VRFBs, are well-suited for stationary energy storage applications where power output and energy capacity are designed to remain in a fixed ratio. Their operational safety, modular scalability, and high cycle life make them a viable option for such use cases. 8
