Abstract

The world meets energy demands by using fossil fuels and renewable energy resources. The present need of the global world is to work on energy sources that are economical and efficient. The world has now reduced the use of fossil fuels and is shifting toward renewable energy generation. Among these sources, the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology that has been developed recently is considered a better candidate for efficient storage of energy. The potential application of VRFB in energy storage is due to a change in its oxidation state from bivalent up to pentavalent (V2+, V3+, V4+, V5+). This chapter covers the working principle, the main components of the VRFB system, and a comparison of VRFB with other electrochemical energy storage technologies. The recent developments on VRFB have been briefly explained. Finally, the most crucial learning research fields are discussed, as well as future development suggestions.
