Though considered a promising large-scale energy storage device,
the vanadium redox battery's use has been limited by its
inability to work well in a wide range of temperatures and its
high cost. But new research indicates that modifying the
battery's electrolyte solution significantly improves its
performance. So much so that the upgraded battery could improve
the electric grid's reliability and help connect more wind
turbines and solar panels to the grid... - Upgrading the
