More importantly, a vanadium flow battery can handle far more charge-discharge cycles than a lithium-ion battery. Lithium batteries store all of the components inside the cells, which makes them simple and well suited for small devices, such as in laptops and cellphones.
Vanadium flow battery is a new type of energy storage battery, which has the advantages of long service life, high energy conversion efficiency, flexible design and large energy storage, and it has deep discharge, low maintenance cost, efficient and convenient thermal management.
Vanadium redox flow batteries are praised for their large energy storage capacity. Often called a V-flow battery or vanadium redox, these batteries use a special method where energy is stored in liquid electrolyte solutions, allowing for significant storage. Lithium-ion batteries, common in many devices, are compact and long-lasting.
Unlike lithium batteries, the electrolyte of the flow battery and the pile are separated, because the electrolyte ions of the vanadium flow battery exist in an aqueous solution, there will be no thermal runaway, overheating combustion and explosion.
The report highlights that thermal runaway remains a critical risk and that 72% of system-level defects involve fire safety components. In contrast, vanadium flow batteries, which are non-flammable and thermally stable by design, offer a safer and more predictable option for stationary energy storage applications.
China is rich in vanadium resources, and it is feasible to use vanadium batteries to replace lithium batteries in some areas, but the energy density of vanadium battery is not as good as lithium battery, and it occupies a large area, which makes it only suitable for large-scale energy storage projects.
