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.
Aluminium-ion batteries are a class of rechargeable battery in which aluminium ions serve as charge carriers. Aluminium can exchange three electrons per ion. This means that insertion of one Al 3+ is equivalent to three Li + ions.
“The study of aluminum batteries is an exciting field of research with great potential for future energy storage systems,” says Gauthier Studer. “Our focus lies on developing new organic redox-active materials that exhibit high performance and reversible properties.
Aluminum batteries are considered compelling electrochemical energy storage systems because of the natural abundance of aluminum, the high charge storage capacity of aluminum of 2980 mA h g−1/8046 mA h cm−3, and the sufficiently low redox potential of Al3+/Al. Several electrochemical storage technologies based on aluminum have been proposed so far.
Aluminum-ion batteries are emerging as a potential successor to traditional batteries that rely on hard-to-source and challenging-to-recycle materials like lithium. This shift is attributed to aluminum’s abundance in the Earth’s crust, its recyclability, and its comparative safety and cost-effectiveness over lithium.
Secondly, the potential of aluminum (Al) batteries as rechargeable energy storage is underscored by their notable volumetric capacity attributed to its high density (2.7 g cm −3 at 25 °C) and its capacity to exchange three electrons, surpasses that of Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, and Zn.
