6 FAQs about [Sodium ion vanadium energy storage]

How does vanadium phosphate work?

The vanadium phosphate material increases the theoretical energy density from the current 396 Wh/kg average to 458 Wh/kg, closing in on lithium-ion batteries. What's more, the use of vanadium allows the cells to remain stable during rapid charging and discharge, while delivering a higher, 3.7 V voltage than the typical cells used now.

Could vanadium be used to develop a low cost EV battery?

Image (cropped): Researchers are deploying vanadium to develop a new generation of high performing, low cost sodium-ion EV batteries and stationary energy storage systems (courtesy of University of Texas). If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

Why is vanadium used in flow batteries?

Vanadium can maintain its stability in different states, which explains why it is commonly used in flow batteries. As applied by the Canepa team, vanadium enabled the battery to remain stable while charging and discharging, resulting in a continuous voltage of 3.7 volts. In comparison, the lab cites 3.37 volts for other sodium-ion battery formulas.

Does vanadium increase energy density?

With the addition of vanadium, sodium ions in the new formula can move about more efficiently during charge/discharge cycles. The Canepa lab team also raised the energy density of compared to a sodium-ion base case by more than 15%.

Are sodium-ion EV batteries better than lithium ion batteries?

“With a higher energy density of 458 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg) compared to the 396 Wh/kg in older sodium-ion batteries, this material brings sodium technology closer to competing with lithium-ion batteries,” the University of Houston reported on December 20. Don’t hold out for those sodium-ion EV batteries just yet.

Are cheap sodium ion batteries a viable alternative to lithium batteries?

The scientific push to make cheap sodium-ion batteries a viable alternative to the packs with lithium cells that go into electric cars and energy storage systems can only be compared to the R&D rush that went into LFP batteries in the past decade or so.
