However, renewable energy is a variable power source that poses a key challenge in the global effort to displace fossil fuels with renewable energy generation. Energy storage solutions like VRFBs are essential in enabling the energy transition to a carbon neutral world, as they provide stationary, utility-scale and long-duration energy storage

While the battery architecture can host many different redox chemistries, the vanadium RFB (VRFB) represents the current state-of-the-art due to its favorable combination of performance and longevity. However, the relatively high and volatile price of vanadium has hindered VRFB financing and deployment opportunities.
We found that the vast majority of vanadium is produced as a co-/by-product in a highly concentrated supply chain, which helps explain the extreme volatility in supply and price witnessed in the vanadium market. These factors also cause concern for the upper bound of the rates at which annual supply can feasibly grow.
Thus, the prohibitive price of vanadium may remain a separate issue from the supply chain challenges discussed here. One method to reduce the burden of the vanadium price does exist via a new market of electrolyte leasing, where a third-party company leases the vanadium – usually in the form of VRFB electrolyte – to a battery vendor or end-user.
Vanadium flow batteries show technical promise for decarbonizing the power sector. High and volatile vanadium prices limit deployment of vanadium flow batteries. Vanadium is globally abundant but in low grades, hindering economic extraction. Vanadium's supply is highly concentrated as co-/by-product production.
This common phenomenon indicates that the strict storage conditions of vanadium sulfides and the strict atmosphere for the fabrication of vanadium sulfide RMBs are essentially required, which should be paid attention to during the industrial application of vanadium sulfides.
This is where vanadium-based compounds (V-compounds) with intriguing properties can fit in to fill the gap of the current battery technologies.
