“…While a PhD student at Case Western Reserve University in the 1990's, I was honored to have Prof. Savinell on my dissertation committee. Although I was unaware at that time of his prior work on z E-mail: ruthenium2008@yahoo.com flow batteries, as I became involved with RFBs in 2015, [1][2][3] I learned, that flow battery topics have always played a prominent role throughout Robert Savinell's career. As a graduate student at the University of Pittsburg in the 1970's, Robert studied Ti-Fe chemistry.…”

We present a quantitative bibliometric study of flow battery technology from the first zinc-bromine cells in the 1870s to megawatt vanadium redox flow battery (RFB) installations in the 2020s. We emphasize that the cost advantage of RFBs in multi-hour charge-discharge cycles is compromised by the inferior energy efficiency of these systems, and that there are limits on the efficiency improvement due to internal cross-over and the cost of power (at low current densities) and due to acceptable pressure drop (at high current densities). Differences between lithium-ion and vanadium redox flow batteries are discussed from the end-user perspective.
