Aluminum-ion batteries function as the electrochemical disposition and dissolution of aluminum at anode, and the intercalation/de-intercalation of chloraluminite anions in the 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.
In order to exploit the high theoretical energy densities of an aluminum-ion battery (13.36 Wh/cm 3, which is 1.6 times higher than gasoline 14 of 8.6 Wh/cm 3), a metallic negative electrode made of pure aluminum needs to be utilized. For this purpose, a stable electrolyte in regard to the electrochemical stability window is also demanded.
One of the greatest challenges, connected to the use of aluminum as an active battery material, is its affinity to oxygen and thus the oxidation of the nascent aluminum surface that is exposed to oxygen, water, or another oxidant (Hatch, 1984; Vargel, 2004). The enthalpy of formation Δ fH0 of a solid oxide at standard conditions
However, the development of aluminum ion batteries over the past 30 years has stalled due to a number of issues: cathode material disintegration, low discharge voltage of 0.55 V, low cycle life of less than 100 cycles, and rapid discharge capacity decay of 26-85% over only 100 cycles.
Rechargeable batteries are the most widely used option, and this field of technological development is being energised by an influx of innovation from all over the world. Yet not many research projects have focused on the novel aluminium-ion technology, which could generate a wave of greener, more efficient batteries.

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 is equivalent to three Li ions. Thus, since the ionic radii of Al (0.54 Å) and Li (0.76 Å) are similar, significantly higher numbers of electrons and Al ions can be accepted by cathodes with little damage. Al has 50 times (23.5 megawatt-hours m the energy density of Li and is even higher th…
