Technical FAQs 4

Are vanadium flow batteries safe?

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.

When were vanadium flow batteries invented?

In the 1980s, the University of New South Wales in Australia started to develop vanadium flow batteries (VFBs). Soon after, Zn-based RFBs were widely reported to be in use due to the high adaptability of Zn-metal anodes to aqueous systems, with Zn/Br2 systems being among the first to be reported.

Are vanadium redox flow batteries safe?

The fundamental safety advantage of vanadium redox flow batteries lies in their chemistry and design. - Non-flammable Electrolyte: The water-based electrolyte used in VRFBs is inherently non-flammable. - Thermal Stability: VRFBs operate at ambient temperatures with minimal heat generation.

What is a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB)?

As a result, industry and government stakeholders are exploring alternative technologies that offer comparable performance with greater inherent safety. One such candidate is the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB), a system that stores energy in liquid electrolytes and eliminates the risk of thermal runaway.
