Aluminium-ion Cells

Aluminum-ion batteries offer significant economic and environmental benefits. They are more accessible due to the abundance and low cost of aluminum, and they have a higher energy density, making them ideal for portable devices and electric vehicles. They are safer and less prone to overheating, and aluminum is highly recyclable, contributing to sustainability

Aluminium-ion cells represent a game-changing technology obtaining improvements in all the key features studied

Solution

ABSA: Aluminium ion Battery for Stationary Applications

Employs a multilayer electrode-dielectric-electrode structure that enhances stability and prevents short circuits.
ABSA uses sustainable materials—aluminium, carbon, and urea.
Uses high-purity (up to 4N+) Aluminium raw material with the lowest environmental footprint in the industry.
Carbon and Urea are obtained as by-products of other chemical industries.

Aluminium in the periodic table

- 2nd specific energy (Wh/kg) after Li.
- 1st volumetric energy (Wh/l)
- No problems of safety, overcharge, transportation.
