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.
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.
Aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) have received growing attention because of their low cost, safe operation, eco-friendliness, and high theoretical capacity. However, one of the biggest challenges for AAIBs is the poor reversibility due to the presence of an oxide layer and the accompanying hydrogen evolution reaction.
Although aluminum-ion batteries are attractive, there are major challenges to overcome, which include understanding the nature of the passive layer of aluminum oxide on the aluminum anode, the narrow electrochemical window of aqueous electrolytes, and lack of suitable cathodes.
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.
On the other hand, aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust. There is a mature industry and recycling infrastructure, making aluminum very cost efficient. This would make the aluminum-ion battery an important contribution to the energy transition process, which has already started globally.
