Invinity aims vanadium flow batteries at large
Vanadium flow batteries could be a workable alternative to lithium for a growing number of energy storage use cases, Invinity claims.
Abstract: As a promising large-scale energy storage technology, all-vanadium redox flow battery has garnered considerable attention. However, the issue of capacity decay significantly hinders its further development, and thus the problem remains to be systematically sorted out and further explored.
As an important branch of RFBs, all-vanadium RFBs (VRFBs) have become the most commercialized and technologically mature batteries among current RFBs due to their intrinsic safety, no pollution, high energy efficiency, excellent charge and discharge performance, long cycle life, and excellent capacity-power decoupling .
Now, MIT researchers have demonstrated a modeling framework that can help. Their work focuses on the flow battery, an electrochemical cell that looks promising for the job—except for one problem: Current flow batteries rely on vanadium, an energy-storage material that's expensive and not always readily available.
That arrangement addresses the two major challenges with flow batteries. First, vanadium doesn't degrade. “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,” says Brushett.
Vanadium prices and corresponding electrolyte prices from 1980 through 2021. The left-hand Y axis measures the market price of vanadium pentoxide, a common source of vanadium sold on the global market. The right-hand Y axis translates those prices into prices for vanadium-based electrolytes for flow batteries.
Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design. In the everyday batteries used in phones and electric vehicles, the materials that store the electric charge are solid coatings on the electrodes.
