Prospects for industrial vanadium flow batteries

A vanadium flow battery uses electrolytes made of a water solution of sulfuric acid in which vanadium ions are dissolved. It exploits the ability of vanadium to exist in four different oxidation states: a tank stores the negative electrolyte (anolyte or negolyte) containing V(II) (bivalent V 2+) and V(III) (trivalent V 3+), while the other tank stores the positive electrolyte

Advances in the design and fabrication of high-performance flow battery

As a key component of RFBs, electrodes play a crucial role in determining the battery performance and system cost, as the electrodes not only offer electroactive sites for electrochemical reactions but also provide pathways for electron, ion, and mass transport [28, 29].Ideally, the electrode should possess a high specific surface area, high catalytic activity,

A high-performance flow-field structured iron-chromium redox flow battery

Unlike conventional iron-chromium redox flow batteries (ICRFBs) with a flow-through cell structure, in this work a high-performance ICRFB featuring a flow-field cell structure is developed. It is found that the present flow-field structured ICRFB reaches an energy efficiency of 76.3% with a current density of 120 mA cm −2 at 25 °C.

To improve the operation efficiency of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) system, flow rate, which is an important factor that affects the operation efficiency of VRB, must be considered. The existing VRB model does not reflect the coupling effect of flow rate and ion diffusion and cannot fully reflect the operation characteristics of the VRB system.
