What Is The Price Of Vanadium Pentoxide Flake Per Kg?

Dec 10, 2025

Leave a message

1. What Is the Price of Vanadium Pentoxide Flake per kg? 

V2O5 Vanadium Pentoxide Flake 98% (USD/lb)

 

Vanadium Pentoxide Flake​ (chemical formula V₂O₅) is the primary commercial oxide of vanadium, traded in flake or powder form. It is the main raw material for producing ferrovanadium and other vanadium chemicals.

Indicative Price Range (Late 2024 / Early 2025)​

USD 7 – 12 per kg​ of flake (equivalent to USD 7,000 – 12,000 per metric ton)
Prices are typically quoted FOB​ major producing countries (China, South Africa, Russia) or CIF​ buyer's port.
Factors causing fluctuation:​
Global steel demand (drives ferrovanadium use, hence V₂O₅ demand)
Mine production levels (e.g., from vanadium-bearing magnetite ores or petroleum residues)
Export restrictions and tariffs (especially from China)
Currency exchange rates (notably RMB/USD, ZAR/USD)
Energy costs for processing V₂O₅
 

 

2. What Is Vanadium Pentoxide Flake Used For?​

Vanadium Pentoxide Flake is a versatile intermediate with wide applications in metallurgy, chemicals, and energy storage:

A. Metallurgical Applications​

Ferrovanadium Production:​ V₂O₅ is reduced with carbon or aluminum to produce ferrovanadium (FeV50, FeV80), which is then added to steel to enhance strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
Vanadium-Aluminium Alloys:​ Used in aerospace components for high strength-to-weight ratio.
Master Alloys:​ Acts as a precursor for other vanadium-containing alloys.

B. Chemical Industry​

Catalysts:​ V₂O₅ is a catalyst in the Contact Process​ for manufacturing sulfuric acid (oxidation of SO₂ to SO₃).
Organic Synthesis:​ Used in oxidation reactions in fine chemical production.
Glass & Ceramics:​ Acts as a colorant (yellow tint) and decolorizer in glass manufacturing.

C. Energy Storage​

Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFB):​ High-purity V₂O₅ is dissolved to make electrolyte solutions for large-scale energy storage, favored for long cycle life and scalability.

D. Other Uses​

Pigments & Dyes:​ Provides stable yellow coloration.
Textile Dyes & Printing:​ Functions as a mordant and color enhancer.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates:​ Occasionally used in synthesizing certain drugs.

 

Comparison: Price vs. Application Demand​

Application
Why V₂O₅ Needed
Influence on Price
Ferrovanadium / Steel​
Major consumer of V₂O₅ globally
Steel boom → higher V₂O₅ demand → price ↑
Sulfuric Acid Catalyst​
Steady industrial demand
Stable baseline consumption
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries​
Growing renewable energy storage market
Emerging demand can tighten supply, pushing prices up

 

Summary:​

Price:​ Vanadium Pentoxide Flake is currently around USD 7–12 per kg, varying with market conditions.
Uses:​ Primarily for ferrovanadium production, sulfuric acid catalysis, glass/ceramics, and increasingly for vanadium redox flow batteries​ and specialty chemicals.
