Vanadium has become a popular electrolyte component because the metal charges and discharges reliably for thousands of cycles. Rongke Power, in Dalian, China, for example, is building the world's largest vanadium flow battery, which should come online in 2020. The battery will store 800 megawatt-hours of energy, enough to power thousands of homes.
While all-vanadium flow batteries are theoretically contamination-free, vanadium species can crossover from one battery side to the other, which can hinder the performance.
