Iron based flow batteries have broad prospects, and the market size may reach 12 billion by 2025

As a low-cost and high safety long-term energy storage technology, the research and development progress of iron-based flow batteries continues to receive international attention. In the future, with the localization of key materials such as proton exchange membranes and bipolar plates, as well as breakthroughs in wide temperature range electrolyte technology, iron-based flow batteries are expected to become a long-term energy storage solution in areas such as power grid peak shaving and renewable energy grid integration.

Q1 2025 Global SiC Patent Panorama: Global Match Points under High Density Layout and Structural Dif

In the first quarter of 2025, patent activities in the field of silicon carbide (SiC) power devices and materials will continue to operate at a high level. The number of newly added patent families worldwide has exceeded 840, setting a new quarterly high in nearly three years, reflecting the increasingly fierce technological barriers and "card race" in the wide bandgap semiconductor field. At the same time, the authorization rate of patents continues to increase - more than 420 patents were authorized for the first time during the quarter, clearing legal barriers for subsequent technology transformation and marketization.

Research progress on electrolytes for vanadium redox flow batteries (Part 1) Research status

With the shortage of fossil resources and the intensification of environmental pollution, China has put forward strategic goals of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality", and the "dual carbon" goal has accelerated the development of renewable and diversified energy. Due to the volatility and instability of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy, which are influenced by time and climate, large-scale energy storage devices are increasingly needed to maximize the utilization of renewable energy. In recent years, VRFB has received widespread attention as a promising form of large-scale energy storage. Large scale energy storage systems can input and output electricity during power generation and consumption, and are an important component of the development of new energy. They can improve energy utilization, save energy, and reduce unit electricity prices.
