This study introduces a cost-effective Mn-V/V redox flow battery by partially replacing vanadium ions with abundant manganese ions.
Performance optimization and cost reduction of a vanadium flow battery (VFB) system is essential for its commercialization and application in large-scale energy storage. However, developing a VFB stack from lab to industrial scale can take years of experiments due to the influence of complex factors, from key materials to the battery architecture.
This work highlights the potential of the ML methodology to guide stack design and optimization of flow batteries to further accelerate their commercialization. Energy Environ. Sci., 2020, 13, 4353-4361
Economic analysis further indicates that the Mn-V/V system can reduce electrolyte costs by up to 45% compared to VRFBs. This study expands the applicability of VRFBs technology and provides a viable pathway toward developing more affordable and sustainable long-duration energy storage systems.
