Abstract

Abstract: Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB) are regarded as the largest in scale, most technologically advanced, and closest to industrialization flow batteries in the world. It has many potential applications. Examples include wind power and photovoltaic power generation, and peak shaving in electrical grids. In this paper, we first give a brief introduction to the working principle of the VRB. An in-depth analysis of key techniques involved is then carried out. Finally, an objective assessment is made on the future research and developments of the technology and their applications.

Key words: vanadium redox flow battery, key technique, key materials, application trends
