Does a vanadium redox flow battery have interdigitated flow field?

The performances of a vanadium redox flow battery with interdigitated flow field, hierarchical interdigitated flow field, and tapered hierarchical interdigitated flow field were evaluated through 3D numerical model.

What is a vanadium flow battery (VFB)?

Learn more. Vanadium flow battery (VFB) is one of the preferred techniques for efficient large-scale energy storage applications. The key issue for its commercialization is cost reduction, which can be achieved by developing high power density VFB stacks.

What are vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs)?

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are one of the emerging energy storage techniques that have been developed with the purpose of effectively storing renewable energy. Due to the lower energy density, it limits its promotion and application. A flow channel is a significant factor determining the performance of VRFBs.

How does flow field geometry affect redox flow batteries?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. In vanadium redox flow batteries, the flow field geometry plays a dramatic role on the distribution of the electrolyte and its design results from the trade-off between high battery performance and low pressure drops.

How VRFB flow field design can improve battery performance?

A reasonable design of the VRFB flow field structure is an effective way to improve the efficiency and performance of the battery. Compared with the development of key battery components, flow field design and flow rate optimization have significant advan-tages in terms of development cycle, cost and risk.

Can flow field design improve battery performance?

Literature analysis shows that reasonable flow field design can improve the uniformity of electrolyte, improve battery attributes and metrics, and thus improve the overall performance of VRFB and reduce the cost.
