Design of Aluminium Air Fuel Cells for Electric Vehicle Applications

Abstract The mounting need for green and environmentally friendly energy sources has led to a substantial improvement in fuel cell technology. A fascinating option for power generation is aluminum-air fuel cells (AAFC). These cells use aluminum and atmospheric oxygen as reactants to generate electricity. AAFCs are a cost-effective and sustainable energy source because of their high oxygen and aluminum content. Their high energy density makes them ideal for uses like as electric cars, backup power systems, and portable electronics since it allows for extended operation without the need for frequent recharging or replenishment. For the proposed AAFCs, this study examines two key design model elements and their functions in efficient and sustainable energy conversion. Among the vital topics it addresses are the catalysts, electrolyte composition, electrode materials, and cell development. During the development phase, three key factors are optimized: power density, energy economy, and longevity. The study additionally explores revolutionary techniques for enhancing AAFC design, such as effective electrode arrangements and catalyst advancement. The outcomes show how AAFCs cylindrical model assembly may be applied to sustainable energy applications in a diversity of industries, including portable technology and small electric cars. The importance of strategic design in maximizing AAFC performance is also emphasized in the study.
