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.
These materials could also provide a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries, which currently dominate the market but are slow to charge and have a knack for catching fire. This magnified image shows aluminum deposited on carbon fibers in a battery electrode.
The researchers made use of the Cornell Center for Materials Research, which is supported by the National Science Foundation’s Materials Research Science and Engineering Center program. Cornell researchers are using low-cost aluminum to create a rechargeable battery that is safer, less expensive and more sustainable than lithium-ion batteries.
Aluminum foils are highly promising anode materials for enabling next-generation Li-ion batteries that are simultaneously low-cost, environmentally friendly, and high-performing. However, the practical application of Al foil anodes has been hindered by the issues of low Coulombic efficiency and rapid mechanical failure, leading to poor cycle life.
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.
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.
