“…Therefore, anatase TiO 2 storage systems could in principle perform better with Al 3+ than Li + ion, respectively. As stated in [38,57,58] Al 3+ ion can be inserted/extracted into/from anatase TiO 2 without any electrode volume changes which is related to its stable host structure. This process is associated with the presence of chloride ions that come from the electrolyte.…”

“…[54][55][56] Anatase TiO 2 as an electrode material can exist in different shapes that differ in performance, preparation and stability. The most promising include anatase TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TiO 2 -NTAs), [38,57] TiO 2 nanoleaves [58] and TiO 2 nanofibers. [59,60] The nanostructure and the surface area of these materials are crucial in order to perform well.…”

energy, [4] large scale and portable energy storage becomes increasingly more important. Therefore, continued research into high-performing alternatives, which will meet the increased demand is imperative. A common way of evaluating potential alternatives for Li-based batteries involves calculating the theoretical specific capacity of potential candidates and comparing these results with other figures of merit. This reasoning leads to the conclusion that metals in the upper left corner of the periodic table are more interesting than the others. Table 1 shows these calculations together with some other parameters for common metal anodes.A second important parameter when searching for potential battery materials is the oxidation potential of the anode, where lower (less noble) is better. Comparing these parameters for the metals listed in Table 1 shows immediately that Li is one of the most promising candidates, but rare. The second most promising metal is aluminium (Al), which has a relatively high standard oxidation potential. Heavier metals and those in higher groups show much worse performance indicators. Nevertheless, this method of evaluation has to be considered with caution, because it is based on numerous assumptions. Such as, that the anode is oxidized during the charging/discharging process, which is not true for many practical systems.The literature on non-Li based intercalation batteries is clearly dominated by sodium (Na), [9,10] magnesium (Mg) [11,12] and Al [13] systems that are all more abundant natural elements than Li. There are few examples of potassium (K) [14] and (Ca), [15] which coincides clearly with the trend observed in Table 1 (as mentioned above, low performing "candidates" have been omitted in this table). Great efforts are aimed at these alternatives to improve capacity, power and cycles. Comparing Na-ion with Li-ion batteries, the common feature is a monovalent ion that can be inserted/extracted into/from the electrode material. Here, only one charge transfer takes place in contrast to Mg-ion, Ca-ion or Al-ion where two and three charges are involved in redox reactions respectively. As a result of multielectron reactions, higher specific capacity and energy density may be obtained. A key issue in order for multivalent ion insertion to be feasible is the electrode material that has to allow ion mobility.In this review, electrode materials for Al-ion batteries, namely different cathodes are discussed. Furthermore, their performance is compared highlighting drawbacks and advantages of every material.Over the last decade, optimizing energy storage has become significantly important in the field of energy conversion and sustainability. As a result of immense progress in the field, cost-effective and high performance batteries are imperative to meeting the future demand of sustainability. Currently, the best performing batteries are lithium-ion based, but limited lithium (Li) resources make research into alternatives essential. In recent years, the performance of aluminium-ion batteries ha...

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.

With the rapid growth in energy consumption, renewable energy is a promising solution. However, renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar, and tidal) is discontinuous and irregular by nature, which poses new challenges to the new generation of large‐scale energy storage devices. Rechargeable batteries using aqueous electrolyte and multivalent ion charge are considered more suitable candidates compared to lithium‐ion and lead‐acid batteries, owing to their low cost, ease of manufacture, good safety, and environmentally benign characteristics. However, some substantial challenges hinder the development of aqueous rechargeable multivalent ion batteries (AMVIBs), including the narrow stable electrochemical window of water (≈1.23 V), sluggish ion diffusion kinetics, and stability issues of electrode materials. To address these challenges, a range of encouraging strategies has been developed in recent years, in the aspects of electrolyte optimization, material structure engineering and theoretical investigations. To inspire new research directions, this review focuses on the latest advances in cathode materials for aqueous batteries based on the multivalent ions (Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Al3+), their common challenges, and promising strategies for improvement. In addition, further suggestions for development directions and a comparison of the different AMVIBs are covered.
