One disadvantage of vanadium redox-flow batteries is the low volumetric energy storage capacity, limited by the solubilities of the active species in the electrolyte. The cost of vanadium may be acceptable, because it is a relatively abundant material, which exists naturally in ~65 different minerals and fossil fuel deposits.
Vanadium ion concentration, supporting electrolytes concentration, environmental temperature, and even the difference between positive and negative solution can all impact the viscosity, thus influencing the battery performance.
For the above reasons, the temperature window is limited in the range of 10–40 °C, with a concentration of vanadium limited to 1.5–2 M. Skyllas-Kazacos et al. recommended a suitable concentration of vanadium at 1.5 M or lower, and that the SOC should be controlled at 60–80 % when the concentration of ions was higher.
