RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:New Aluminum-Ion Battery Charges 60x Faster Than Lithium-IonOkay, we both screwed-up then! I got distracted and used the wrong url. You initially rebutted by citing a source that could be seen as obsolete. I screwed up by mixing up the url. I meant to use the original Forbes aluminium battery post which indicates that "range anxiety, recycling and fast-charging fears could all be consigned to electric-vehicle history with a nanotech-driven Australian battery invention." SOME OR ALL of the disadvantages that you cited initially seem to be overcome with that new technology. I wanted to use the new lithium tech. to show that there are advancements in both types of batteries. Peace.

willing to listen and learn.
The article in question by S&P Global Platts was written Dec. 2019, not recent but can still be
relevant in regards to aluminum-ion battery discussions.
The link that you provided is an article on Lithium-Ion batteries not aluminum-ion ??????
LINK HERE I found another opinion from The Journal of Power Sources dated January 2021 called
"An overview and prospective on Al and Al-ion battery technologies"
Overall, the overview of Al-batteries shows that there is a considerable gap between Al-battery systems and Li-ion technology. The evaluation suggested that for Al-batteries, it will be extremely challenging to reach KPIs close to Li-ion systems. However, Al-batteries can offer several advantages over the more mature Li-ion technology, and after proper maturation, can find their application niche. The most suitable application for Al-battery technology will be stationary storage, due to the expected low cost and high sustainability of Al-based systems. Material discovery platforms using high throughput systems combined with artificial intelligence computing can be fundamental to advance research on that topic. A completely new approach is required to achieve new electrolyte chemistries in order to find an alternative to chloroaluminate compositions or a solution to the elevated reactivity of chloroaluminates.
