Scotland ia at the heart of global V battery revolution Why Scotland is at the heart of a global vanadium battery revolution
This was a chemistry demonstration that did not go bang and pop. In a factory in Bathgate, two test-tubes of vanadium electrolytes were mixed, one purple and the other orange, and all that happened was the thermometer reading rose to 33C.
But that lack of explosivity, said Dr Elisha Martin, lead research scientist for Invinity Energy Systems, is the point. “With lithium batteries, there are many concerns about excessive heat generation, thermal runaway and eventual issues with fire and explosions. But this demonstration is designed to show that with our systems, we don’t have the same concerns.”
