Zero Energy Loss: Aluminum-ion batteries have almost no energy loss, making them perfect for solar power storage. Imagine off-grid living with free electricity forever! With aluminum-ion batteries, you could power your home without relying on the grid, lowering your energy costs and reducing dependence on traditional power sources.
The biggest caveat of this aluminum-based battery is its energy density, which is significantly lower than that of competing technologies at around 150 watt-hours per kilogram. This corresponds to just one-third to one-fifth of the currently best solid-state batteries and Li-ion batteries, but it still compares well to a typical household battery.
Secondly, the potential of aluminum (Al) batteries as rechargeable energy storage is underscored by their notable volumetric capacity attributed to its high density (2.7 g cm −3 at 25 °C) and its capacity to exchange three electrons, surpasses that of Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, and Zn.
To create the solid electrolyte, the researchers introduced an inert aluminum fluoride salt to the liquid electrolyte already containing aluminum ions. This new aluminum-ion battery could be a long-lasting, affordable, and safe way to store energy.
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.
The aluminum-ion battery is cheaper, more scalable, and can be produced more quickly than solid-state batteries, which face production challenges and high costs. It also offers faster charging and a longer lifespan, making it a more viable option for the mass market.
