“…These problems are all chronic and fundamental, mainly coming from the fact that it is difficult to find suitable cathode materials which let simple ion transfer in a reversible way. These problems include slow ion transport, poor cycle life, the decomposition of cathode materials, and low discharge voltage profiles with unclear plateaus [187,195,[200][201][202][203][204].…”

There has been increasing interest in developing micro/nanostructured aluminum-based materials for sustainable, dependable and high-efficiency electrochemical energy storage. This review chiefly discusses the aluminum-based electrode materials mainly including Al2O3, AlF3, AlPO4, Al(OH)3, as well as the composites (carbons, silicons, metals and transition metal oxides) for lithium-ion batteries, the development of aluminum-ion batteries, and nickel-metal hydride alkaline secondary batteries, which summarizes the methodologies, related charge-storage mechanisms, the relationship between nanostructures and electrochemical properties found in recent years, latest research achievements and their potential applications. In addition, we raise the relevant challenges in recently developed electrode materials and put forward new ideas for further development of micro/nanostructured aluminum-based materials in advanced battery systems.

“…The corrosive nature of this IL limited its application, and it could not be applied to conventional batteries. The examples of their use include novel battery systems that turned the difficulties to advantages, among these the chloroaluminate acid-base concentration cell [3], the Al-chloride cell [4], the Cd-bromide cell [5], the Al-polyaniline cell [6], and the Mg-metal vanadate cell [7]. The application of ILs to Li-ion batteries remains problematic mainly because the cathodic stability of the chloroaluminate-containing electrolyte against lithium has not yet been made sufficient.…”

“…The non-imidazolium system, the quaternary asymmetric ammonium system, and the pyrazolium system can be regarded as ''neat'' examples of ILs that are well-suited to Li-batteries. 4 and EMPBF 4 are known to have excellent thermal stability. This property makes them the ideal electrolyte to introduce more safety to batteries.…”

“…Chloroaluminate anions intercalated into the graphite electrode reaching 64 Wh kg −1 specific energy at 1.7 V discharge voltage over 150 cycles and 80-90% coulombic efficiency. 2 The same idea was taken up several years later by various research groups 1,[3][4][5] using different oxides, sulfides and zeolites materials as intercalation electrodes. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] More recently the introduction of conductive polymers (CP) as intercalation electrode sets a further development with great potential for a rechargeable aluminum hybrid battery-capacitor energy storage system.…”

The main challenges to implement sustainable energy storage technologies are the utilization of earth-abundant recyclable materials, low costs, safe cell reactions and high performance, all in a single system. Aluminum batteries seem to cover these requirements. However, their practical performance is still not comparable with the state of the art high performance batteries. A key aspect to further development could be the combination of aluminum with charge storage materials like conductive polymers in non-aqueous electrolytes taking advantage of the properties of each material. This review presents the approaches and perspectives for rechargeable aluminum-based batteries as sustainable high-performance energy storage devices. The storage of electricity is a key component in the drive to a sustainable energy society. However, current energy storage devices, like high performance lithium-ion batteries, have constrained raw material resources, difficult recycling process and danger of flammability. Far less attention has been directed to the use lightweight aluminum based batteries in non-aqueous systems as aluminum has lower cost, is more abundant and is safer than lithium. Furthermore, its specific capacity of 2980 mAh g −1 and volumetric capacity of 8040 mAh cm −3 , respectively, are higher than lithium. The number of studies on rechargeable aluminum-based batteries in non-aqueous systems has increased 10-fold in the last decade (Figure 1). Therefore, it seems appropriate and timely to review the state of the art and the implementation of novel ideas and approaches made for rechargeable high performance aluminum-based batteries and reflect on the perspectives, challenges and limitations that these relatively new systems face. Gifford et al. described this novel battery system in 1988 with aluminum and graphite as the negative and positive electrodes respectively, in a Lewis acidic chloroaluminate ionic liquid at room temperature. Chloroaluminate anions intercalated into the graphite electrode reaching 64 Wh kg −1 specific energy at 1.7 V discharge voltage over 150 cycles and 80-90% coulombic efficiency.2 The same idea was taken up several years later by various research groups 1,[3][4][5]
