Here’s how our vanadium flow batteries work. The fundamentals of VFB technology are not new, having been first developed in the late 1980s. In contrast to lithium-ion batteries which store electrochemical energy in solid forms of lithium, flow batteries use a liquid electrolyte instead, stored in large tanks.
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) represent a revolutionary step forward in energy storage technology. Offering unmatched durability, scalability, and safety, these batteries are a key solution for renewable energy integration and long-duration energy storage. VRFBs are a type of rechargeable battery that stores energy in liquid electrolytes.
Vanadium flow batteries are gaining attention in the media, various industries, and even the general public for the many benefits over lithium-ion batteries. Those benefits include longer life, very little degradation of performance over time, and a much wider operating temperature range. All of which significantly reduces the cost of ownership.
One more advantage of these batteries – the acidity levels are much lower than lead-acid batteries. In its lifespan, one StorEn vanadium flow battery avoids the disposal, processing, and landfill of eight lead-acid batteries or four lithium-ion batteries.
With vanadium flow batteries, all parts and components have a recyclability factor close to 100%. The electrolyte can be processed and reused; 100% of the vanadium can be extracted and reused for other applications with no impact on primary mining. Also, these batteries contain no toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc, and nickel.
Energy storage is the main differing aspect separating flow batteries and conventional batteries. Flow batteries store energy in a liquid form (electrolyte) compared to being stored in an electrode in conventional batteries. Due to the energy being stored as electrolyte liquid it is easy to increase capacity through adding more fluid to the tank.
