The new commercially-oriented report, “Vanadium compounds in emerging electronics, electrics, cooling: markets, technologies 2024-2044” is designed to assist added value materials and device companies to maximise their opportunities. It will also assist investors, researchers and other interested parties.

Rapid market growth explained
The report calculates a startling eight-fold increase in market value for vanadium compounds in this sector. Today’s success is the liquid vanadium sulfate anolytes and catholytes in redox flow batteries, a strong growth market. Nonetheless, the imminent market growth for such compounds will substantially be driven by vanadium solids in sophisticated forms that add value. They will vary from 2D compounds, MXenes, graphene composites, vanadates, hollow nanospheres to intercalated cathodes, electrochromic windows and much more.

Commercially-oriented analysis
The 42-page Executive Summary and Conclusions makes easy reading for those with limited time because it has key conclusions and bar charts, tables and SWOT appraisal. See the most promising vanadium formulations and morphologies by future application then 58 forecast lines as graphs and tables.

Morphologies and formats being targeted
Next, the 17 pages of Chapter 2. “Vanadium compound formulations morphologies and formats becoming important in electronic, electric and thermal applications” clarifies the structures ahead and reasons why. Understand liquid vanadium compounds in different oxidation states and the most promising solid vanadium compound structures including as vanadium oxides, chalcogenides, perovskites, 2D compounds. Additionally, there are other examples of the phases, morphologies and formats being brought to market, with manufacturing approaches and many 2024 research references.

Major opportunity emerging in various forms of energy storage
The rest of the report has chapters on each of the sectors found to be important in driving that huge increase in sales, with latest company and research inputs and Zhar Research PhD level analysis. See drill down reports available from the company for your further reading on specifics. The first three chapters are concerned with the major vanadium opportunity emerging in various forms of energy storage.

Chapter 4. “Vanadium compounds in future supercapacitors, pseudocapacitors, Li-ion capacitors and other battery supercapacitor hybrids BSH” needs 77 pages to cover the massive progress here, with research and company activity sharply increasing in 2024. Learn the formulations and formats winning in supercapacitors, pseudocapacitors and battery-supercapacitor hybrids (lithium-ion capacitors but also others), the benefits and challenges remaining.

Chapter 5. “Vanadium compounds in future regular and hybrid redox flow batteries” is the longest because this is the only existing major commercial success for vanadium compounds in these sectors. See why it has great potential ahead. Although the typical vanadium sulfate electrolytes are mature technology with little further research, the large number of companies marketing these devices need to be covered including where they are headed next. There is also coverage of the research and commercial activity on hybrid RFB that employ vanadium compounds and the potential for that lesser opportunity for such compounds.

Logically, that is followed by Chapter 6. Vanadium compounds in future aluminium-ion. ammonium-ion, calcium-ion, iron-ion, lithium-ion, magnesium-ion, potassium-ion, sodium-ion and zinc ion batteries. Why are most of them suffering a trickle or research and little interest in commercialisation when it comes to vanadium-based options? In sharp contrast, which one has a rising flood of research and intense commercial interest in the vanadium-based approach? What is in-between and why?

Solid-state cooling, heat prevention, and smart windows
Then we move away from energy storage to the 42 pages of Chapter 7. “Vanadium compounds in future solid-state cooling, heat prevention, and smart windows”.

Again there is a lucid introduction to the subject followed by specifics from a commercial point of view with deep information from the research pipeline distilled to  provide conclusions. With global warming and many new industrial, medical and transport processes needing cooling, this is the focus, not heating. See how it is now a many- faceted opportunity, from electrochromics and Passive Daylight Radiative Cooling PDRC to smart windows. Which are the best opportunities for vanadium compounds and why? What is the competition? Clarity is provided by many new infograms, eight SWOT appraisals and assessment of latest company and research activity. A modest share of what will become a very large market awaits.

And much more ahead
The report closes with a catch-all on the rest, notably in electrics and electronics including vanadium compounds for solar panels, memory, memristors, transistors, actuators, MEMS and a considerable rollout of vanadium-based sensors. What types, why, where, what else? Chapter 8. “Other applications of vanadium compounds in electronics and electrics” takes 35 pages to provide the answers and, again, a profusion of further reading, including 2024 research.
