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.
In summary, the rise of vanadium flow batteries in Australia signals a promising shift in the energy storage landscape, offering cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable solutions for a variety of applications, from remote sites to residential and industrial sectors.
Called a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), it's cheaper, safer and longer-lasting than lithium-ion cells. Here's why they may be a big part of the future — and why you may never see one. In the 1970s, during an era of energy price shocks, NASA began designing a new type of liquid battery.
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.
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.
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. In VFBs, this electrolyte is composed of vanadium dissolved in a stable, non-flammable, water-based solution.
