Undecided - The Breakthrough Battery That The US Gave Away to China, 11102022

In terms of grid-scale energy storage, redox flow batteries (RFB) are one of the big competitors for lithium-ion batteries. In preliminary tests vanadium redox flow batteries can be manufactured with longer lasting lives, be made more scalable, and are easier to recycle than other battery technologies. Yet, after investing millions of US tax dollars into a cutting edge flow battery formula, the American government basically gave it away to China, who is currently the lead producer of RFB
