ALUMINUM ION BATTERY INCLUDING METAL SULFIDE OR MONOCRYSTALLINE VANADIUM OXIDE CATHODE AND IONIC LIQUID BASED ELECTROLYTE

摘要

An aluminum ion battery includes an aluminum anode, a vanadium oxide material cathode and an ionic liquid electrolyte. In particular, the vanadium oxide material cathode comprises a monocrystalline orthorhombic vanadium oxide material. The aluminum ion battery has an enhanced electrical storage capacity. A metal sulfide material may alternatively or additionally be included in the cathode.
