A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Matthew McDowell, associate professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Materials Science and Engineering, is using aluminum foil to create batteries with higher energy density and greater stability.
The results show that commercial aluminum foils with the same purity and degree of hardness but with different thicknesses (from 0.025 to 0.1 mm) exhibit different microstructure and surface roughness, which in turn have an impact on the cyclability.
The performance of the device is greatly influenced by the purity, surface finishing and hardness of the aluminum metal. Commercial aluminum foils of the same purity and hardness can have different microstructures and surface roughness, resulting in different cycling performance.
Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing high-energy-density batteries using aluminum foil, a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
The mechanical integrity of the aluminum foil anode can be effectively enhanced by simple annealing treatment to induce pre-cycling tensile residual stress or with suitable hardness enable to balance the strength between the matrix and the lithiated phase .
The proposed surface architecture and working mechanism of lithium supplement could effectively eliminate the remaining challenges of high-capacity Al anodes, promoting the possibility of using commercial aluminum foils as single-material anodes for high energy density lithium-ion batteries.
