Aluminium with its unique properties such as low weight, great ability to deflect light, high conductivity and high energy density paired with aluminium’s high availability (being the third most abundant element on earth) is making aluminium to one of the most interesting materials for metal deposition[1] as well as for Al-batteries. Due to Aluminium’s high reactivity neither deposition nor batteries are easily accessible and have to overcome large obstacles, such as corrosivity or the general design of Al-secondary batteries.
In our contribution, we’ll demonstrate how we overcame at least some of these obstacles by applying e.g. movement to the substrate (deposition of Al) or elaborate the best performing chemical structures for secondary Al-batteries. Furthermore we give some insights in recent research projects of our national funded research projects “Albatros”-(Al-Battery) and “Alma”-(Al deposition).
In the outlook of our contribution, we’ll provide price predictions in view of a commercialization.
