Vanadium Redox Flow Battery

V2+ + VO2+ + 2H+ ⇌ V3+ + VO2+ + H2O

개요

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) uses four oxidation states of vanadium (V²⁺/V³⁺ and VO²⁺/VO₂⁺) in two electrolyte tanks. During discharge, V²⁺ is oxidized to V³⁺ at the negative electrode while VO₂⁺ is reduced to VO²⁺ at the positive electrode. Using the same element eliminates cross-contamination.
