Aluminium-ion batteries are a class of rechargeable battery in which aluminium ions serve as charge carriers. Aluminium can exchange three electrons per ion. This means that insertion of one Al 3+ is equivalent to three Li + ions.
Strictly speaking, the aluminum-ion battery is just a subset of all variants published so far. As pointed out by Kravchyk et al. (2017), an “aluminum-ion battery” is characterized by the unidirectional flow of Al 3+ ions from one electrode to another. In the following section, we restrict the term “aluminum-ion battery” to exactly those systems.
The concept of Al S batteries has its origins in 1993 when Peramunage and Licht introduced a battery using the chemical reaction: (3) 2Al + 3S + 3OH − + 3H 2 O → 2Al OH 3 + 3HS − This reaction resulted in a cell voltage of 1.3 V and a specific energy of 910 Wh kg −1.

In order to create an aluminum battery with a substantially higher energy density than a lithium-ion battery, the full reversible transfer of three electrons between Al 3+ and a single positive electrode metal center (as in an aluminum-ion battery) as well as a high operating voltage and long cycling life is required (Muldoon et al., 2014).
Aluminium–air batteries are primary cells, i.e., non-rechargeable. Once the aluminium anode is consumed by its reaction with atmospheric oxygen at a cathode immersed in a water-based electrolyte to form hydrated aluminium oxide, the battery will no longer produce electricity.

The anode oxidation half-reaction is Al + 3OH → Al(OH) 3 + 3e +2.31 V. The cathode reduction half-reaction is O 2 + 2H 2O + 4e → 4OH +0.40 V. The total reaction is 4Al + 3O 2 + 6H 2O → 4Al(OH) 3 +2.71 V. About 1.2 volts potential difference is created by these reactions and is achievable in practice when potassium hydroxide is used as the electrolyte. Saltwater electrolyte achieves approximately 0.7 …

Aluminium-ion batteries are a class of rechargeable battery in which aluminium ions serve as charge carriers. Aluminium can exchange three electrons per ion. This means that insertion of one Al is equivalent to three Li ions. Thus, since the ionic radii of Al (0.54 Å) and Li (0.76 Å) are similar, significantly higher numbers of electrons and Al ions can be accepted by cathodes with little damage. Al has 50 times (23.5 megawatt-hours m the energy density of Li and is even higher th…
