Graduate student researcher Yuhgene Liu holds an aluminum material for solid-state batteries. A good battery needs two things: high energy density to power devices, and stability, so it can be safely and reliably recharged thousands of times.
Solid-state batteries also enable the integration of new high-performance active materials. Researchers have added small amounts of other materials to aluminum to create foils with particular “microstructures,” or arrangements of different materials.
Aluminum-ion batteries (AIB) AlB represent a promising class of electrochemical energy storage systems, sharing similarities with other battery types in their fundamental structure. Like conventional batteries, Al-ion batteries comprise three essential components: the anode, electrolyte, and cathode.
“We can use aluminum as a battery material, because it’s cost-effective, highly recyclable and easy to work with.” When used in a conventional lithium-ion battery, aluminum fractures and fails within a few charge-discharge cycles due to expansion and contraction as lithium travels in and out of the material.
“Our new aluminum foil anode demonstrated markedly improved performance and stability when implemented in solid-state batteries, as opposed to conventional lithium-ion batteries.” The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy.
Researchers have been exploring a variety of new materials, including ceramics, polymers, and composites, for their potential in solid-state batteries. These materials offer advantages like better stability and safety compared to traditional liquid electrolytes. Advances in fabrication methods have also been pivotal.
The solid-state design of SSBs leads to a reduction in the total weight and volume of the battery, eliminating the need for certain safety features required in liquid electrolyte lithium-ion batteries (LE-LIBs), such as separators and thermal management systems [3, 19].
