Impact of Surface Microstructure and Properties of Aluminum Electrodes on the Plating/Stripping Behavior of Aluminum-Based Batteries Using Imidazolium-Based Electrolyte.

ABSTRACT: The 99.99% Al used for negative Al electrodes in aluminum-based battery studies is expensive. This is primarily due to the complex challenges associated with fabricating 99.99% Al, particularly the removal of Fe impurities from Al melts. Despite the importance of this issue for the future commercialization of Al-based batteries, it has been largely overlooked. This work accordingly studied the plating/stripping behavior of Al containing 1 wt % iron (Al 1% Fe) as an alternative electrode using conventional ([EMIm]Cl and AlCl₃) electrolyte. Simultaneously, the impact of the surface microstructure of Al 1% Fe on the plating/stripping behavior was examined. The results indicate that the difference in the plating/stripping cycling of Al 1% Fe alloys and 99.99% Al is negligible. Thus,
