Vanadium redox flow batteries also known simply as Vanadium Redox Batteries (VRB) are secondary (i.e. rechargeable) batteries. VRB are applicable at grid scale and local user level. Focus is here on grid scale applications. VRB are the most common flow batteries. A flow battery consists of a reaction cell stack, where the
commercially used systems are: Fe/Cr, Zn/Br, and all-vanadium (V/V). A range of other chemistries that involve the formation of a second, non-liquid phase, have also been reported: all-iron (Fe/Fe), all-copper (Cu/Cu), H/Br, V/air, etc.5–12 The all-vanadium chemistry is by far the most commonly used redox system in RFBs. In a vanadium redox ...
