A research team from Tianjin University recently successfully developed a low-corrosion “organic dichloride” electrolyte to provide solutions for large-scale applications of aluminum metal batteries. This result was published in the top international journal “Nature - Sustainable Development” on the evening of the 4th. Aluminum metal batteries are regarded as one of the most promising energy storage technologies due to their high theoretical specific capacity, low cost, and three-electron transfer characteristics of aluminum anodes. However, traditional electrolyte systems have problems such as strong corrosion and high viscosity, which causes rapid deterioration of battery metal components and seriously limits the practical application process. Therefore, the development of a novel electrolyte system with low corrosivity and high reversibility has become a key breakthrough in the practical application of aluminum metal batteries.
