“…Mn can combine with harmful impurity elements (such as, Si and Fe) in the Al matrix to prevent these points from becoming active sites for corrosion reactions. [ 31 ] In addition, Mn can also improve the mechanical properties of the Al anode. However, an excess of Mn can accelerate the self‐corrosion of the Al anode.…”

high energy density and long cycle life. [2] However, LIBs suffer from severe safety issues caused by lithium dendrites and flammable organic electrolytes, hindering their wide application in large-scale energy storage systems. [3] Additionally, the limited lithium reserves and their uneven distribution may further increase the cost of LIBs. [4] Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore novel battery technologies with higher energy density, enhanced safety, and lower cost. [5] To replace or complement lithium-based energy storage systems, various batteries based on sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and aluminum (Al) have received extensive attention for use as next-generation electrochemical storage systems. [6] Among the metal-based cells, Al-based batteries (ABs) are one of the most promising alternatives for energy storage due to the high specific capacity, low cost, abundant reserves, and light weight of the Al anode. [7] Al can offer a theoretically gravimetric capacity of 2980 mAh g −1 , which is much higher than that of Mg (2200 mAh g −1 ) or Zn (820 mAh g −1 ) and only lower than that of Li (3860 mAh g −1 ). From a volume standpoint, Al has a larger volume capacity (8040Ah cm −3 ) than lithium (2060 Ah cm −3 ). [1,6a,8] Considering the combination of the specific capacity and earth reserves, Al can beat all other metals (Figure 1), demonstrating a promising candidate for developing advanced energy storage systems with high energy densities and low-cost. [9] ABs are a class of energy storage systems in which Al metals are used as anodes in the form of plates, foils, or particles. Al was initially used as an anode in the Buff cell coupled with a carbon cathode in 1857. [10] Later on, Al-MnO 2 batteries and Al-O 2 batteries were in succession demonstrated and explored in 1960s. [11] Since then, extensive efforts have been devoted to exploring more advanced Al batteries for clean and sustainable energy. According to the electrolyte characteristics, ABs can be briefly classified into aqueous Al batteries and non-aqueous Al batteries, including primary Al-air batteries, rechargeable Al-O 2 batteries, Al-ion batteries (AIBs), Al-graphite dual-ion batteries (DIBs), Al-S batteries, and others for various applications (Figure 2).Although enormous research progress on Al-based batteries has been achieved, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed, especially on the Al anode side. PrimaryThe ever-growing market of electric vehicles and the upcoming grid-scale storage systems have stimulated the fast growth of renewable energy storage technologies. Aluminum-based batteries are considered one of the most promising alternatives to complement or possibly replace the current lithium-ion batteries owing to their high specific capacity, good safety, low cost, light weight, and abundant reserves of Al. However, the anode problems in primary and secondary Al batteries, such as, self-corrosion, passive film, and volume expansion, severely limit the batteries' practical performanc...

“…The harmful effects of iron in the composition of commercially pure aluminum reduced with the addition of Mn and part of Mn were solidly soluble in the Al matrix, which increases the corrosion potential of Al, thus reducing the corrosion rate. 27) Compared with the matrix ¡ (Al), the Ecorr of Al 6 (Mn,Fe) was higher, which made Al 6 (Mn,Fe) into local cathodes concerning the matrix. 28) Therefore, adding excessive Mn in AlZnMgScZr filler would promote the precipitation probability of Al 6 (Mn,Fe), which reduces the corrosion resistance of the alloy.…”

A 7075-T651 aluminum alloy was successfully welded by tungsten inert gas welding using commercial ER5183 wire and Al5Mg1Zn 0.3Sc0.15Zr welding wire containing different contents of Mn. The microstructure, corresponding mechanical properties, and the corrosion behavior of the welded joint were investigated by microscopy methods, tensile tests, and corrosion tests. The results revealed that Al 3 (Sc,Zr) particles were distributed in a small amount in the welds and refined the primary ¡-Al grain. The addition of Mn gives a strong interaction of improving fracture strength, micro-hardness, and corrosion resistance reducing the harmful influence of iron, as a result, the properties of the welded joint were enhanced. And the increase of Mn content improves the tensile strength and hardness of welds, which could be attributed to the refinement of eutectic T phase by Mn. Potentiodynamic polarization tests revealed that the corrosion resistance of welds increased with the increase of Mn content. Compared with the welded joint using commercial filler, the welded joint with AlMgZnScZrMn filler exhibited a higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In conclusion, AlMgZnScZrMn filler can be using for welding 7XXX aluminum alloys.

As one of the most promising alternatives to next‐generation energy storage systems, aluminum batteries (ABs) have been attracting rapidly increasing attention over the past few years. In this review, we summarize the recent advancements of ABs based on both aqueous and non‐aqueous electrolytes, with a particular focus on rechargeable non‐aqueous ionic liquid‐based aluminum‐ion batteries (AIBs).
