Moreover, RFBs present longer cycle-life (RFB >25,000 cycles; Li-ion < 10,000), which is then reflected in a much lower levelized cost of storage, in comparison to Li-ion batteries. Although promising, the high technology capital cost is still the major limitation for this technology to enter the market. In March 2020, IDTechEx performed an …
