Alex Koyfman / Apr 23, 2024 This Next-Gen Battery Could Kill Lithium for Good 🔪 I bet you haven't heard of Vanadium batteries. And there's a good reason for it. For one thing, Vanadium is so much more expensive than lithium to extract and refine — making these batteries cost about 2x what lithium-ion does per kWh. To make matters worse, Vanadium batteries have a substantially decreased energy density, which means that to get the same power, you need a unit twice as heavy. Not exactly what you want to hear if you're looking for a battery to power your smartphone or your brand-new high-performance EV. 
But there is one catch that sweeps all of these shortcomings away. Vanadium flow batteries, as they're called, have a service life expectancy of between 25,000 and 30,000 charge cycles before there is a noticeable degradation of charge speed and retention efficiency.
That's a quarter-century or more of peak-level performance, and even at the end of the life cycle... >>> Read the full article here. Share on Twitter You signed up for our newsletter with the email ignoble.experiment@arconati.us.
