The company wants to make a battery based on a new vanadium-based anode material that can charge in 3 minutes and run for 20,000 charging cycles at the expense of energy density, which la O’ says could be 80 to 90 percent that of present-day batteries.
Power and energy are decoupled or separated inside a vanadium flow battery. Power is expressed by the size of the stack; the energy by the volume of electrolyte in the tanks. This attribute means that a flow battery can be more accurately scaled to fit any application.
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. The vanadium flow battery (VFB) is a rechargeable electrochemical battery technology that stores energy in a unique way.
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.
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.
