Much of the new demand is expected to come in the form of electrolytes for the application of vanadium to energy storage in the vanadium redox flow batteries and in the form of ultrapure vanadium salts for use a precursor reagents in the production of cathodes for lithium ion batteries.
Vanadium compounds have shown good performances as electrode materials of new ion batteries including sodium-ion batteries, zinc ion batteries, and RMBs , , , .
Vanadium improves the strength of titanium, and vanadium-titanium alloys have been used in the construction of aircraft. Alloys of vanadium, chromium and titanium also have suitable properties for the construction of nuclear reactors.
Stricter regulations around the use of high-strength steel have however increased the demand for vanadium as a steel additive (Anon, 2011). The remainder of vanadium is used in titanium alloys and catalysts with a small amount currently used for energy storage applications (Algar, 2017).
Vanadium compounds are also used as catalysts, and have been used in the chemical industry as early as the 1870s (Gupta and Krishnamurthy, 1992). The oxidation of SO 2 to SO 3 in the production of sulphuric acid is catalysed by vanadium oxides (Garcia-Labiano et al., 2016). A more recent application for vanadium is in energy storage.
This is where vanadium-based compounds (V-compounds) with intriguing properties can fit in to fill the gap of the current battery technologies.
