World’s first high-power aluminum-ion battery system for energy storage

The INNOBATT project led by the Fraunhofer Institute has developed a lithium-free, high-power aluminum-graphite-dual-ion battery system for energy storage applications. This rechargeable aluminum-ion battery technology offers stability, fast response, and recyclability, with energy densities of 160 Wh/kg and power densities exceeding 9 kW/kg. The system uses easily obtainable materials like aluminum and graphite, providing a cost-effective and non-flammable solution for grid applications. Climate solutions experts can benefit from this new battery system's ability to allow rapid charging and discharging at high C-rates, contributing to sustainable energy storage solutions.
