next-gen battery systems that form the future of energy storage and break lithium’s chokehold on global clean energy tech supply chains. The batteries show particular promise for energy storage applications, and could soon be a promising solution for long-term energy storage as energy grids become increasingly reliant on variable energy sources like wind and solar power. VRFBs function by storing energy in liquid electrolytes. These liquid electrolytes contain vanadium ions in four different states of oxidation, kept in two separate tanks.…
