There are many kinds of RFB chemistries, including iron/chromium, zinc/bromide, and vanadium. Unlike other RFBs, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs) use only one element (vanadium) in both tanks, exploiting vanadium''s ability to exist in several states. By using one element in both tanks, VRBs can overcome cross-contamination
This unique setup gives VRFBs a few interesting advantages for something like grid-scale energy storage: Extremely scalable. Can rapidly release large amounts of energy. Vanadium electrolyte is reusable, recyclable, and has a battery lifespan of 25+ years. No cross-contamination of metals, since only one metal
