Table 1 Overview of the assumptions made for both scenarios, Present Case and Future Case, and a statement on why we have made these projections
From: Benchmarking organic active materials for aqueous redox flow batteries in terms of lifetime and cost
Parameter | Present Case | Future Case | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
VRFB | |||
Crepl. Elhl/$ kg−1 | 0 | −2.41 (20.52 $ kg−1 V2O5) −7.45 (63.49 $ kg−1 V2O5) −0.65 (5.51 $ kg−1 V2O5) | Recycling of vanadium electrolytes is assumed to be well-established. The selected vanadium prices reflect the high price fluctuations of V2O5. See the section Energy costs of first Supplementary Note for more details. |

Cactive/$ kg−1 | 923 | 3.4823 | Assuming a price drop for organic molecules due to mass production. |
Separator | Nafion membrane | size-selective separator | Size-selective separators are assumed to be developed and established in future AqORFBs. |
