Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have designed a cost-effective and environment-friendly aluminum-ion (Al-ion) battery that could fit the bill. A porous salt produces a solid-state electrolyte that facilitates the smooth movement of aluminum ions, improving this Al-ion battery’s performance and longevity.
China has been incorporating the development of advanced battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion battery technologies, in the Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development (from 6th to 14th), and the continuous investments have enabled China to become the leading country to produce Li-ion batteries.
In this study, an aqueous rechargeable aluminum-ammonium hybrid battery is reported (AAHB) that utilizes a Prussian blue analogue (K 1.14 Fe III [Fe II (CN) 6]·nH 2 O) as an ultra-stable cathode for reversibly accommodating ammonium ion, paired with aluminum- one of the lowest-cost metals, aside from iron—as the anode.
Practical implementation of aluminum batteries faces significant challenges that require further exploration and development. Advancements in aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) show promise for practical use despite complex Al interactions and intricate diffusion processes.
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.
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.
