REVEAL: Unlocking aluminium''s potential for clean energy storage
This new REVEAL project''s study demonstrates that Al6060 cut wire granules offer a safe, efficient, and scalable aluminium fuel solution for renewable energy storage, enabled by a
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.
Extremely important is also the exploitation of aluminum as energy storage and carrier medium directly in primary batteries, which would result in even higher energy efficiencies. In addition, the stored metal could be integrated in district heating and cooling, using, e.g., water–ammonia heat pumps.
With all of these in mind, the Al-ion energy storage system is a promising choice. In terms of cost-effectiveness, Al undoubtedly wins against all metal options as it is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust that will greatly minimize the final cost of the AAlBs in terms of price per kWh (Fig. 1a, b).
The present review summarized the recent developments in the aqueous Al-ion electrochemical energy storage system, from its charge storage mechanism to the various components, including the anode and cathode materials, along with the added functionalities, such as electrochromic, paper-based, wearable, and biobattery system. 1.
