A review of energy storage mechanisms in aqueous aluminium technology
A review of energy storage mechanisms in aqueous aluminium technology
This systematic review covers the developments in aqueous aluminium energy storage technology from 2012, including primary and secondary battery applications as well as supercapacitors. Aluminium is an abundant material, with a high theoretical volumetric energy density - 8.04 Ah cm-3. Combined with aqueous electrolytes, which have twice the ionic storage potential than non-aqueous versions – this technology has potential to serve many energy storage needs. The charge transfer mechanisms are discussed in detail with respect to aqueous aluminium-ion secondary batteries – where most research has focused in recent years. TiO2 nanopowders have shown to be promising negative electrodes, with the potential for pseudocapacitive energy storage in aluminium-ion cells. This review summarises the advances in Al-ion systems using aqueous electrolytes, focusing on electrochemical performance.

Abstract
This systematic review covers the developments in aqueous aluminium energy storage technology from 2012, including primary and secondary battery applications as well as supercapacitors. Aluminium is an abundant material, with a high theoretical volumetric energy density - 8.04 Ah cm-3. Combined with aqueous electrolytes, which have twice the ionic storage potential than non-aqueous versions – this technology has potential to serve many energy storage needs. The charge transfer mechanisms are discussed in detail with respect to aqueous aluminium-ion secondary batteries – where most research has focused in recent years. TiO2 nanopowders have shown to be promising negative electrodes, with the potential for pseudocapacitive energy storage in aluminium-ion cells. This review summarises the advances in Al-ion systems using aqueous electrolytes, focusing on electrochemical performance.
