Pissoort mentioned the possibility of VRFBs in the 1930s. NASA researchers and Pellegri and Spaziante followed suit in the 1970s, but neither was successful. presented the first successful demonstration of an All-Vanadium Redox Flow Battery employing dissolved vanadium in a solution of in the 1980s. Her design used sulfuric acid electrolytes,. Unlike other RFBs, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs) use only one element (vanadium) in both tanks, exploiting vanadium’s ability to exist in several states. [pdf]
Invinity has begun manufacturing the VS3 batteries that will comprise the vanadium flow battery (VFB) system at its Motherwell factory in Scotland. Construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2025. Operation is expected to begin in 2026. [pdf]
The vanadium redox battery (VRB), also known as the vanadium flow battery (VFB) or vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), is a type of rechargeable which employs ions as . The battery uses vanadium's ability to exist in a solution in four different to make a battery with a single electroactive element instead of two. [pdf]
The primary drawback is the high upfront cost, driven by the use of vanadium—a relatively rare and expensive metal. Vanadium accounts for ~30–40% of VRFB system costs, making them less competitive with lithium-ion batteries for small-scale or short-duration applications. [pdf]

The vanadium redox flow battery in its present form was developed by Skyllas-Kazacos at the University of New South Wales in the 1980’s.[1, 2] An improved, multiple-stage layout of a 10 kW, 60 kWh vanadium redox flow battery is presented, with considerably reduced self-discharge. [pdf]
In a recent presentation at the Electrochemical Society symposium, insights from a decade of vanadium flow battery development were shared, emphasizing the importance of testing at various scales, addressing safety and reliability issues early, and the challenges faced with the commercialization of mixed-acid electrolytes, particularly concerning chlorine gas generation during deployments.
