Stanford team develops ultra-fast aluminum-ion battery with stability over thousands of cycles

Green Car Congress

In addition to powering small electronic devices, Al-ion batteries could be used to store renewable energy on the electrical grid, Dai said. A paper describing the novel aluminum-ion battery will be published in the journal Nature. However, more improvements will be needed to match the voltage of lithium-ion batteries, Dai said.
