Coming back to the title of this article questioning “The aluminum-ion battery: A sustainable and seminal concept?” we can answer that, indeed, the aluminum-ion battery is a highly promising battery technology concept.
One of the greatest challenges, connected to the use of aluminum as an active battery material, is its affinity to oxygen and thus the oxidation of the nascent aluminum surface that is exposed to oxygen, water, or another oxidant (Hatch, 1984; Vargel, 2004). The enthalpy of formation Δ fH0 of a solid oxide at standard conditions
The resurgence of interest in aluminum-based batteries can be attributed to three primary factors. Firstly, the material's inert nature and ease of handling in everyday environmental conditions promise to enhance the safety profile of these batteries.
Aluminum-ion batteries allow us to work in a wide range of temperatures of between 0 ° C and 50 ° C without irreversible loss of capacity as it happens in Lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the Aluminum-ion batteries developed by Albufera show improved capacity properties with increasing temperature. In summary
