A Closer Look at Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
The definition of a battery is a device that generates electricity via reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction and also stores chemical energy (Blanc et al., 2010). This stored

Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design. In the everyday batteries used in phones and electric vehicles, the materials that store the electric charge are solid coatings on the electrodes.
This technology strategy assessment on flow batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
Valuation of Long-Duration Storage: Flow batteries are ideally suited for longer duration (8+ hours) applications; however, existing wholesale electricity market rules assign minimal incremental value to longer durations.
While all batteries experience electrolyte degradation, flow batteries in particular suffer from a relatively faster form of degradation called “crossover.” The membrane is designed to allow small supporting ions to pass through and block the larger active species, but in reality, it isn’t perfectly selective.
