Showdown: Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Vs Lithium-ion Battery
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) work with vanadium ions that change their charge states to store or release energy, keeping this energy in a liquid form. Lithium-Ion Batteries pack their energy in solid lithium, with the energy dance happening as lithium ions move between two ends (electrodes) when charging or using the battery.
These batteries tend to be more straightforward, standalone batteries, as opposed to the high-tech energy monitors and slick designs associated with Li-ion products. That also means they are more difficult to couple to the grid through inverters, and thus more frequently used in true off-grid solar systems (but many off-grid systems are still moving …
