Despite the growth, vanadium batteries still represent a much smaller proportion of energy storage compared to lithium batteries, which accounted for 89.6% of the total installed capacity in 2021 according to research by the China Energy Storage Alliance.
Vanadium is ideal for flow batteries because it doesn't degrade unless there's a leak causing the material to flow from one tank through the membrane to the other side. Even in that case, MIT researchers say the cross-contamination is temporary, and only the oxidation states will be affected.
The Chinese government views the vanadium battery as an alternative to more hazardous storage batteries, such as ternary lithium batteries, due to safety concerns. In June, China's national energy administration banned the use of ternary lithium batteries and sodium-sulphur batteries for energy storage because of safety issues.
China's large vanadium reserves could make the country self-sufficient in producing vanadium batteries, unlike the more common lithium batteries for which the country imports much of the raw material.
The capacity of a vanadium battery can be increased by adding more vanadium electrolytes. This makes it safer for large-scale installation. Given these advantages, the Chinese government sees the vanadium battery as an alternative to other, more hazardous storage batteries.
