Technical FAQs 4

Are rechargeable aluminum ion batteries a viable alternative to lithium-ion battery technology?

Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are regarded as viable alternatives to lithium-ion battery technology because of their high volumetric capacity, low cost, and the rich abundance of aluminum.

What is a aqueous aluminum ion battery (AAIB)?

An alternative battery system that uses Earth-abundant metals, such as an aqueous aluminum ion battery (AAIB), is one of the most promising post-lithium battery technologies not only because of its safety and sustainability but also because of their high theoretical energy density in addition to their natural abundance in the Earth's crust.

What is aqueous aluminum based energy storage system?

Aqueous aluminum-based energy storage system is regarded as one of the most attractive post-lithium battery technologies due to the possibility of achieving high energy density beyond what LIB can offer but with much lower cost thanks to its Earth abundance without being a burden to the environment thanks to its nontoxicity.

Can aluminum be used in post-lithium battery technology development?

The order of Earth abundance of the elements for MIABs from high to low is Al > Ca > Na > Mg > K > Zn > Li, with 8.23 %, 4.15 %, 2.36 %, 2.33 %, 2.09 %, 0.007 %, and 0.002 % content, respectively (Fig. 1 b). This showed the unwavering potential of using aluminum as the everlasting resource to be used in post-lithium battery technology development.
