Aluminium–air batteries (Al–air batteries) produce electricity from the reaction of oxygen in the air with aluminium. They have one of the highest energy densities of all batteries, but they are not widely used because of problems with high anode cost and byproduct removal when using traditional electrolytes. This has restricted their use to mainly military applications. However, an electric vehicle with aluminium batteries has the potential for up to eight times the range of a lithium-ion battery - Download [PDF]

Aluminium-ion batteries are a class of rechargeable battery in which aluminium ions serve as charge carriers. Aluminium can exchange three electrons per ion. This means that insertion of one Al is equivalent to three Li ions. Thus, since the ionic radii of Al (0.54 Å) and Li (0.76 Å) are similar, significantly higher numbers of electrons and Al ions can be accepted by cathodes with little damage. Al has 50 times (23.5 megawatt-hours m the energy density of Li and is even higher th…
