The vanadium flow battery (VFB) as one kind of energy storage technique that has enormous impact on the stabilization and smooth output of renewable energy. Key materials like membranes, electrode, and electrolytes will finally determine the performance of VFBs.
One of the most promising energy storage device in comparison to other battery technologies is vanadium redox flow battery because of the following characteristics: high-energy efficiency, long life cycle, simple maintenance, prodigious flexibility for variable energy and power requirement, low capital cost, and modular design.
Therefore, recent studies seems to be prominent to stand and be in the favor of the entitlement that for storage system of electricity produced by wind turbine, vanadium redox flow batteries are more suitable (Mena et al. 2017).
The specific operational energy density of a VRFB cell is such that there is rational power density; hence, it is lower than the theoretical energy density. Therefore, the cost for the vanadium electrolyte lies in the range of 270 € (kWh) −1 mentioned to the useable capacity (König 2017).
This is where vanadium-based compounds (V-compounds) with intriguing properties can fit in to fill the gap of the current battery technologies.
However, as the grid becomes increasingly dominated by renewables, more and more flow batteries will be needed to provide long-duration storage. Demand for vanadium will grow, and that will be a problem. “Vanadium is found around the world but in dilute amounts, and extracting it is difficult,” says Rodby.
