Graphitic Cathodes for Aluminum Batteries with Aqueous Electrolytes

Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Concerns over lithium-ion battery safety and environmental impact have led to increased exploration of alternative energy storage systems. Of these, aluminum is of particular interest, being environmentally friendly, safe and easy to handle. In this work, we explore graphitic cathodes with an aqueous electrolyte (aluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate) and study their electrochemical performance. Finally, a reduced graphene cathode with tailored porosity results in an eco-friendly and inherently safe rechargeable battery with promising electrochemical performance
