The possibility of creating a vanadium flow battery was explored by P.A. Pissoort in the 1930s, NASA researchers in the 1970s, and A. Pellegri and P.M. Spaziante in the 1970s, but they were unsuccessful in demonstrating the technology. The first successful demonstration of the all-vanadium redox flow battery which employed vanadium in a solution of sulfuric acid in each half was by Maria Skyllas-Kazacos at the University of New South Wales in the 1980s. Her design used sulfuric acid electrolytes, and was patented by the University of New South Wales in AustraliaAustralia in 1986.
