The reducing costs of Li-ion technologies continues to create challenges for other energy and battery storage technologies, such as redox flow batteries (RFBs) to penetrate short-duration grid-scale markets. However, the different demands of emerging applications such as data centers and long duration energy storage could be key for RFB developers to target. This article from IDTechEx examines the future strategies and considerations for flow battery developers and emerging applications.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/emerging-strategies-for-flow-batteries/34362?rsst2id=6https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/emerging-strategies-for-flow-batteries/34362?rsst2id=6Tue, 10 Feb 2026 ZZZc.nichols@idtechex.com (Conrad Nichols) Join IDTechEx Principal Technology Analyst Conrad Nichols on Tuesday 17th February for this expert webinar "Battery Storage Trends in Data Centers and Commercial & Industrial Applications".

However, high electrolyte costs have inhibited the wider market penetration of the technology, especially since Li-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) costs continue to fall. Vanadium electrolyte leasing models may help to reduce upfront cost to some degree, though the commercialization of cheaper, alternative flow battery chemistries will also drive global flow battery market growth. This article examines the current state of VRFBs and the evolving commercialization of alternative redox flow battery (RFB) technologies.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/flow-battery-technologies-beyond-vanadium/34263?rsst2id=6https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/flow-battery-technologies-beyond-vanadium/34263?rsst2id=6Thu, 15 Jan 2026 ZZZc.nichols@idtechex.com (Conrad Nichols) A complimentary collection of insights written by IDTechEx industry experts, covering key technology innovation trends shaping the next decade.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/idtechex-technology-innovations-outlook-2026-2036/33784?rsst2id=6https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/idtechex-technology-innovations-outlook-2026-2036/33784?rsst2id=6Thu, 15 Jan 2026 ZZZc.martin@idtechex.com (Charlotte Martin) The growth of Li-ion batteries creates surging demand for lithium, but there is an increasing need for extraction methods that are efficient, sustainable, and versatile across different environments and regions.
