Abstract:
Interest in the advancement of energy storage methods has risen as energy production trends
toward renewable energy sources. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) are one of the
emerging energy storage techniques being developed for the purpose of effectively storing
renewable energy. The limitations of each component and what has been/is being done to
address said limitations. This review briefly discusses the current needs and state of
renewable energy production, the fundamental principles behind the VRFB, how it works and
the technology restraints. The working principles of each component are highlighted and
what design aspects/cues are to be considered when building a VRFB. To address these
limitations, the limiting determinants of some components are being investigated alongside
previous/current research.Finally, critical research areas are highlighted along with future
development recommendations.
