In this paper, we will provide an overview of recent material developments for various elements of aluminum–air batteries, including the anode, air cathode and electrolyte. Each component and material has its own strengths and challenges. This type of battery comprises three main components: an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte.
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.
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.
Further exploration and innovation in this field are essential to broaden the range of suitable materials and unlock the full potential of aqueous aluminum-ion batteries for practical applications in energy storage. 4.
Aluminum metal is a high-energy-density carrier with low cost, and thus endows rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) with the potential to act as an inexpensive and efficient electrochemical device, so as to supplement the increasing demand for energy storage and conversion.
Aluminum, being the Earth's most abundant metal, has come to the forefront as a promising choice for rechargeable batteries due to its impressive volumetric capacity. It surpasses lithium by a factor of four and sodium by a factor of seven, potentially resulting in significantly enhanced energy density.
