In some instances, the entire battery system is colloquially referred to as an “aluminum battery,” even when aluminum is not directly involved in the charge transfer process. For example, Zhang and colleagues introduced a dual-ion battery that featured an aluminum anode and a graphite cathode.
This design opens an avenue for a future super-batteries. Aluminum-ion battery (AIB) has significant merits of low cost, nonflammability, and high capacity of metallic aluminum anode based on three-electron redox property.
“It’s interesting that we can use aluminum as a battery material, because it’s cost-effective, highly recyclable, and easy to work with.” The idea of making batteries with aluminum isn’t new. Researchers investigated its potential in the 1970s, but it didn’t work well.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Aluminium-based battery technologies have been widely regarded as one of the most attractive options to drastically improve, and possibly replace, existing battery systems—mainly due to the possibility of achieving very high energy density with low cost.
The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. In the end, they had created high energy density batteries that could potentially outperform lithium-ion batteries.
Aluminum's manageable reactivity, lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness make it a strong contender for battery applications. Practical implementation of aluminum batteries faces significant challenges that require further exploration and development.
The assembled aluminum-graphene battery works well within a wide temperature range of −40 to 120°C with remarkable flexibility bearing 10,000 times of folding, promising for all-climate wearable energy devices.
