Lithium batteries decay and lose capacity over time, while vanadium batteries discharge at 100% throughout their entire lifetime. To account for this capacity loss, lithium batteries often have to be oversized at the time of installation, adding to the costs involved, but with a vanadium battery, the capacity you purchase is the capacity you need.
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.
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.
Among them, vanadium redox flow battery is more favored by researchers because of its good battery performance. This article will compare the deference between vanadium redox flow battery vs lithium ion battery. What is vanadium redox flow battery?
In terms of elemental properties, vanadium is less active and safer than lithium. From the operating principle, the vanadium flow battery electrolyte is separated from the reactor phase, that is, the reaction site and the storage site of the active substance are separated, and thermal runaway, overheating, combustion and explosion will not occur.
In fact, vanadium batteries are known for having the easiest end-of-life processing. Combine this with the fact that lithium batteries need to be replaced more often and lose capacity over time, a vanadium flow battery is a greener alternative to lithium that creates far less waste.
