Vanadium Flow batteries for Residential and Industrial Energy Storage
The vanadium flow battery (VFB) was first developed in the 1980s. Vanadium is harder than most metals and can be used to make stronger lighter steel, in addition to other industrial uses. It is unusual in that it can exist in four different oxidation states (V2+, V3+, V4+, and V5+), each of which holds a different electrical charge.
VSUN Energy | Renewable Energy from Vanadium Batteries
Vanadium flow batteries employ vanadium ions in different oxidation states to store chemical potential energy. To make a VFB, vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) is processed into an electrolyte solution. The electrolyte is stored in two tanks and pumped through electrochemical cells. Depending on the applied voltage, the energy sources are charged ...
