Reasons for aluminum to be used in new energy batteries

Developing better solid-state batteries for EVs

The idea of making batteries with aluminum isn''t new. Researchers investigated its potential in the 1970s, but it didn''t work well. When used in a conventional Li-Ion battery, aluminum fractures and fails within a few charge-discharge cycles, due to expansion and contraction as lithium travels in and out of the material.

Aluminum-anode batteries offer sustainable alternative

The cost of harvesting solar energy has dropped so much in recent years that it''s giving traditional energy sources a run for their money. However, the challenges of energy storage – which require the capacity to bank an intermittent and seasonally variable supply of solar energy – have kept the technology from being economically competitive.
