Material designs for Aluminum Ion Batteries

Aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) is considered as a new generation of large-scale energy storage systems instead of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In particular, aluminum has attracted attention for use in rechargeable batteries because of its higher energy density (approximately 1060 Wh kg⁻¹) compared to that of lithium (406 Wh kg⁻¹).

AIBs exhibits the low cost, inflammable, 3 electron redox reaction that can realize an ultrafast rechargeable reaction as well as a high capacity.

In our research of AIBs is the development of electrode materials and aqueous/non-aqueous electrolyte etc.
