A paper-based microfluidic aluminum–Air battery with intrinsic migration of electrolyte

Self-assembly of an amino acid derivative as an anode interface layer for advanced alkaline Al–air batteries

“…6 This phenomenon leads to an increase in waste generation, thereby negatively influencing the Al–air battery performance and anode utilization. Various regulatory approaches have been suggested to address this problem, including anodic alloying, 7–9 electrolyte additives, 10,11 microfluidic channels, 12,13 gel polymer electrolytes, 14,15 and oil displacement. 16 Among these methods, the use of suitable electrolyte additives is favoured thanks to their ease of operation and lower-cost.…”
