Xi’an Jiaotong University Du Xianfeng Team in Nano Energy: Bottom Growth Strategy for High Areal Capacity Rechargeable Aluminum Batteries
Date : 2023-07-01
In recent years, global energy systems have been transformed from fossil energy to renewable energy, and energy storage is key to renewable energy use. Energy storage can be achieved in a variety of ways, and cells that store energy by electrochemical means are the most efficient and capable of large-scale application. Aluminium Batteries (Aluminium Batteries)AIBBecause of their low cost, high theoretical capacity (theoretically, volume and quality)8048 mAh·cm-3and2981 mAh·g-1) and high safety (non-combustion of water and air). However, due to uncontrolled surface patterns, chemical reactions and hydrodynamic processes of metal anode cells during charging, the growth of the crystals is inevitable. A recent study shows that:3DMetallic anodes can increase the area of effective exposure between electrodes and electrolytes and reduce the local current density of electrodes, thus preventing the erosion of the surface of electrodes and the growth of branches. However, due to high field strength and short ion diffusion pathways, metal particles still tend to be deposited in priority areas at the top of the electrodes. For aluminium battery systems with large surface capacity, the deposition of aluminium in a unit area is inevitably increased. Large amounts of aluminium sediments can build bridges between positive and negative electrodes, increasing the crystal growth, which will seriously undermine the long-term stability and safety of batteries.
In response to this problem, the team of Professor Doo-Shin of the Siam Chai Chemical Institute proposed an aluminum cell anode structure for the bottom growth pattern.2P-Al2O3/AlThe anode, which provides reverse field strength.Ebottom>EtopTo induceAlThe directed sediment. Even in large areas, stable electrodes can be formed.–The electrolyte interface.

The strategy and methodology are of great relevance for the assembly of aluminium batteries with high energy density and high cyclic stability.
