Vanadium Redox Flow Cell Single Split Unit for Battery Research

Vanadium Redox Flow Cell Single Split Unit for Battery Research EQ-VRB-C is splitable single unit flow cell for Vanadium Redox Flow Battery research; a battery technology which takes advantage of eliminating the use of rare earth metals. Most importantly, this battery kind holds the potential to be vastly scaled up for industrial applications while incurring a lower cost increase -- the storage capacity is scaled up by implementing a larger electrolyte storage tank (compared to lithium-ion cells in which the amount of active materials on electrodes need to be increased and are more costly to produce). Moreover, this type of battery is capable of being charged and discharged for over 10 times the life cycle of lithium ion cells with no capacity loss.    This split test cell features easy and fast assembly with convenient part replacement to facilitate research for flow cell cathode and electrolyte solutions.
