Traditionally, much of the global vanadium supply has been used to strengthen metal alloys such as steel. Because this vanadium application is still the leading driver for its production, it’s possible that flow battery suppliers will also have to compete with metal alloy production to secure vanadium supply.
The membranes employed in vanadium flow batteries can be grouped into ion exchange membranes and physical separators; however, this topic will only focus on ion exchange membranes .
Overcoming the barriers related to high capital costs, new supply chains, and limited deployments will allow VRFBs to increase their share in the energy storage market. Guidehouse Insights has prepared this white paper, commissioned by Vanitec, to provide an overview of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and their market drivers and barriers.
All-vanadium redox flow batteries use V (II), V (III), V (IV), and V (V) species in acidic media. This formulation was pioneered in the late eighties by the research group of Dr Maria Skyllas-Kazacos as an alternative to the Fe/Cr chemistry originally proposed by NASA.
