2 Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Review In VRFBs the power is produced in an electrolytic cell during discharge, with power consumed in the same cell during charging. In these cells, inert carbon felt electrodes are typically used and are separated by ion exchange membranes, to prevent ion crossover. Typically, graphite bipolar plates are used to enable stacking of electrodes, increasing the cell voltage. Current collectors made from highly conductive materials, such as copper are then wedged against end plates which provide structural support, (Figure 2.1). Figure 2.1: Simplified cell structure of a typical RFB. Current Performance of VRFB The stored energy capacity of a VRFB is defined by the amount of electrolyte, hence the minimum battery cost achievable is $84 kWh-1 at 2015 market prices [25]. This price excludes the cell cost, but currently the full battery cost is as low as $264 kWh-1. The minimum levelised cost of electricity is $184 MWh-1 when used for distribution services, which is equal to or cheaper than Li-ion [17]. The typical operating current density of approximately 100 mA cm-2 used commercially, which is well below hydrogen fuel cells of a similar design [54]. 13
