There is increasing interest in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) for large scale-energy storage systems. Vanadium electrolytes which function as both the electrolyte and active material are highly important in terms of cost and performance.
Currently, commercial vanadium electrolytes are primarily H 2 SO 4 (2.5–3.5 mol/L) solutions dissolving 1.5–2 mol/L vanadium, with energy densities typically around 25 Wh/L, significantly lower than Zn mixed flow batteries, which can achieve energy densities up to 70 Wh/L [10, 20].
The performance of vanadium electrolyte can be enhanced by suitable trace additives, which extend the life cycle of the battery and reduce the frequency of replacement. These additives favor green development and cost-saving while having no significant impact on post-recycling.
The nature of the solvent introduced in the battery determines the solubility and stability of the vanadium species of the solution. Ionic liquids (ILs), either pure or mixed with other solvents, are a promising alternative to aqueous electrolytes. ILs are organic salts composed entirely of ions and possess a low melting point (<100 °C).
