Adding more electrochemical cells and increasing the amount of the electrolyte solution enables to increase power and storage capacity, respectively, of the vanadium flow redox battery. “Energy storage is an emerging sector in constant development that is reshaping the renewable energy market.
Interest in the advancement of energy storage methods have risen as energy production trends toward renewable energy sources. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) are one of the emerging energy storage techniques being developed with the purpose of effectively storing renewable energy.
As grid-scale energy storage demands grow, particularly for long-duration storage, so will the need for flow batteries. This increased demand will lead to a challenge with vanadium. Rodby explains, 'Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult.'
Vanadium does not degrade in flow batteries. According to Brushett, 'If you put 100 grams of vanadium into your battery and you come back in 100 years, you should be able to recover 100 grams of that vanadium—as long as the battery doesn’t have some sort of a physical leak'.
In flow batteries, vanadium does not permanently cross-contaminate the electrolytes. If some vanadium flows through the membrane to the other side, it only causes a shift in the oxidation states, which can be easily remedied by rebalancing the electrolyte volumes and restoring the oxidation state via a minor charge step.
No transfer of vanadium ions across the membrane will ensure maximum coulombic efficiency and any crossover of vanadium/other species into the opposing cell will result in self discharge and reduced energy efficiency in the cell .
