Vanadium redox flow batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes containing ________ ions that undergo reversible redox reactions.

  1. Lithium
  2. Sodium
  3. Vanadium
  4. Zinc

Answer: Vanadium

VRFBs use V²⁺/V³⁺ (negative) and VO²⁺/VO₂⁺ (positive) couples in separate tanks. Power (stack size) and energy (tank volume) decoupled; ideal for grid-scale storage with long cycle life. [[MNRE Reports, NCERT Chemistry Class 12]]
