From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aluminium
batteries are commonly known as aluminium-air batteries,
due to the reaction of
oxygen in the
air
with aluminium. Aluminium batteries are a very interesting
battery chemistry due to the extremely high energy density. In
the past, however, the technology has been limited to
non-rechargeable
primary batteries, with very limited
shelf-life. For these reasons, the batteries have
traditionally had very limited applications and have not been
widely used.
