As a typical positive electrode material, vanadate has abundant ion adsorption sites, a unique “pillar” framework, and a typical layered structure. Therefore, it has the advantages of high specific capacity and excellent rate performance, possessing the prospect of being a large-capacity energy storage material.
In conclusion, the rivalry between vanadium redox flow batteries and lithium-ion batteries is pivotal in the energy storage conversation. Each has unique benefits. While lithium batteries have been the standard, vanadium redox and other flow batteries are gaining attention for their distinct advantages, particularly in large-scale storage.
Vanadium can maintain its stability in different states, which explains why it is commonly used in flow batteries. As applied by the Canepa team, vanadium enabled the battery to remain stable while charging and discharging, resulting in a continuous voltage of 3.7 volts. In comparison, the lab cites 3.37 volts for other sodium-ion battery formulas.
