Aluminum battery systems are considered as a system that could supplement current lithium batteries due to the low cost and high volumetric capacity of aluminum metal, and the high safety of the whole battery system.
Aluminum-ion batteries (AIB) AlB represent a promising class of electrochemical energy storage systems, sharing similarities with other battery types in their fundamental structure. Like conventional batteries, Al-ion batteries comprise three essential components: the anode, electrolyte, and 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, 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.
These challenges encompass the intricate Al 3+ intercalation process and the problem of anode corrosion, particularly in aqueous electrolytes. This review aims to explore various aluminum battery technologies, with a primary focus on Al-ion and Al‑sulfur batteries.
