Design and Development of Metal Air Battery
Keywords:
Aluminum–air batteries, Batteries, Metal-air batteriesAbstract
With advancement of portable electronic devices and electrification of transportation rises a need for more advanced battery systems that can power these systems. Tremendous research is ongoing in new battery technologies to satisfy the energy storage requirements. Batteries with high energy density, long cycle life, and safe and low cost are the need of the hour. Metal-air batteries seem to be promising candidates for the future battery requirements because of their higher specific capacity and energy density as compared with lithium-ion batteries. The aqueous alkali electrolytes, though widely used at present, may be suitably replaced by non-aqueous electrolytes, aprotic and ionic liquids for both primary and secondary batteries. Aluminum-air power sources are receiving increased attention for applications in portable electronic devices, transportation, and energy systems. The results of this work demonstrate the feasibility of AA ECGs as portable reserve and emergency power sources, as well as power sources for electric vehicles.
