New design makes aluminum batteries last longer
"This new Al-ion battery design shows the potential for a long-lasting, cost-effective and high-safety energy storage system. The ability to recover and recycle key materials makes the
The energy storage landscape is experiencing a revolutionary transformation, and aluminum ion batteries are leading the charge. With groundbreaking developments in 2025, this next-generation battery technology is proving it can outperform traditional lithium-ion batteries in longevity, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
The rechargeable aluminum-ion battery is a cost-effective, non-flammable energy storage technology that uses easily obtainable active materials – aluminum and graphite. With natural graphite as the cathode material, AGDIB cells can achieve energy densities of 160 Wh/kg and power densities exceeding 9 kW/kg.
Potential substitutes for reliable long-term energy storage systems include rechargeable Al-ion batteries. However, their most common electrolyte, liquid aluminum chloride, corrodes the aluminum anode and is highly sensitive to moisture, which exacerbates the corrosion.
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.
