Aluminum–sulfur batteries have a theoretical energy density comparable to lithium–sulfur batteries, whereas aluminum is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust and the least expensive metallic anode material to date.
These challenges encompass the intricate Al 3+ intercalation process and the problem of anode corrosion, particularly in aqueous electrolytes. This review aims to explore various aluminum battery technologies, with a primary focus on Al-ion and Al‑sulfur batteries.
“Our battery has a two-fold economic promise. First, given the high earth abundance of all components, aluminum, sulfur, NaCl, KCl and AlCl 3, the estimated cell-level cost of our Al–S battery is as low as $8.99 per kWh, which is 12% to 16% of that of today’s lithium-ion batteries,” the academic said.
Moreover, these batteries can reduce the cost due to the use of sulfur atoms [ ]. The other attractive choice for the sulfur-included battery is the aluminum sulfur (Al–S) battery, which is composed of an aluminum anode and sulfur cathode. Aluminum, the most abundant metallic element, can offer a high gravimetric capacity of 2980 mAh g ].
The resurgence of interest in aluminum-based batteries can be attributed to three primary factors. Firstly, the material's inert nature and ease of handling in everyday environmental conditions promise to enhance the safety profile of these batteries.
Recent studies revealed that sulfur-included lithium batteries (lithium–sulfur battery, Li–S) capable to provide an energy density of 500 Wh kg which ismuch higherthan that of Li-ion batteries (150–250 Wh kg ]. Moreover, these batteries can reduce the cost due to the use of sulfur atoms [ ].
