Abstract

The aluminium-air battery has unique features that make it an attractive candidate as a power source in an electric vehicle. The energy and power densities of the battery can provide driving ranges comparable to those of the internal combustion engine. The battery is a multi-component system as will be described and any development program must focus upon the several challenges: (A) For the need for high performance electrodes; (b) a cell design that allows rapid replacement of the anode; and (c) separation of the solid product from the electrolyte.
