Unlike other RFBs, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs) use only one element (vanadium) in both tanks, exploiting vanadium's ability to exist in several states. The electrolyte, a crucial component utilized in VRFB, has been a research hotspot due to its low-cost preparation technology and performance optimization methods. Although lithium-ion (Li-ion) still leads the industry in deployed capacity, VRFBs offer new capabilities that enable a new wave of industry growth. Flow batteries are durable and have a long lifespan, low operating. . In addition to her work at the US Geological Survey on bioremediation and microbial ecology projects and her research in the field of environmental microbiology for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the Salt Institute, she has also authored several scientific publications. . Redox flow batteries (RFBs) store energy in two tanks that are separated from the cell stack (which converts chemical energy to electrical energy, or vice versa).
