Rechargeable batteries are the most widely used option, and this field of technological development is being energised by an influx of innovation from all over the world. Yet not many research projects have focused on the novel aluminium-ion technology, which could generate a wave of greener, more efficient batteries.
Flow Aluminum batteries store more energy and provide a powerful discharge of electricity, with only a fraction of their energy storage and discharge capacity lost during the electrochemical process. This loss is basically on a par with the efficiency losses seen in lithium-ion batteries, according to Fetrow.
Since aluminum is easily recycled, the company plans to rely largely on recycled materials in the manufacturing process of their batteries. Aluminum is the third most-abundant material in the Earth’s crust, and it recycles very cleanly, creating a captive supply chain.
Flow Aluminum batteries function through an electrochemical process. An aluminum derivative provides an additional catalyst to speed the process, and a liquid electrolyte, called an “ionic liquid”, efficiently moves the ions and electrons around in the battery. This allows Flow Aluminum batteries to store more energy and provide a powerful discharge of electricity.
The development of an aluminum-based battery was initiated by Shuya Wei, a chemical engineering professor who joined UNM in 2019.
In the photo-assisted aluminum air battery, although the CuO electrode shows better performance in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, which the open circuit voltage is 0.9 V, the short circuit current is 50 mA cm−2, and the power is 8.5 mW cm −2 under light, the specific capacity is much lower than in the hydrogel. 2.
