Abstract:Vanadium and titanium are nationally strategic metals that now lie at the heart of many new energy material systems. They perform functions in energy storage, hydrogen, photovoltaics, power batteries, and wind power equipment that no other materials can easily replace. Driven by carbon peak and neutrality targets and the building of a new energy system, these two elements have moved beyond their traditional role as steel additives to become critical industrial supports. This review surveys the fundamental research landscape, dominant technical routes, and the state of industrial application for vanadium and titanium materials in new energy. It identifies the chief obstacles currently limiting R&D and commercialization, and then outlines pathways toward high-quality development—covering technology breakthroughs, supply chain coordination, policy, and deployment in real-world settings. The aim is to provide both conceptual background and practical guidance for weaving vanadium and titanium materials deeper into the new energy sector, securing the nation’s energy material supply, and easing the green and low-carbon transition.
