Unlike lithium-ion batteries, vanadium flow batteries use electrolyte solutions containing vanadium ions to store and release energy. The technology offers a number of advantages for grid-scale storage: high safety (non-flammable), long cycle life (over 15 years), and the ability to decouple power and energy capacity, offering greater design flexibility.
