Abstract - The growing global population and petroleum use are contributing factors to serious environmental issues like climate change. Reducing dependency on petroleum can be achieved, for example, by producing big-capacity batteries that can be used in electrical applications. Because aluminum-air batteries have a theoretical energy density of 8.1 kWh kg1, which is far higher than that of present lithium-ion batteries, they are considered promising for use in next-generation energy storage applications. An aluminum-air battery, which is a promising form of energy storage, uses aluminum as the anode and ambient air as the cathode. This abstract emphasizes the key characteristics of aluminum-air batteries while highlighting their potential advantages, challenges, and applications. These batteries appeal to a range of enterprises due to their high energy density, lightweight, and environmental friendliness. However, there are issues that need to be resolved, such as impediments to real-world deployment and short cycle times. Research to improve the performance and economic viability of aluminum-air batteries is underway, with a focus on uses in electric vehicles, portable gadgets, and renewable energy systems. This abstract provides a concise overview of this revolutionary energy storage technology with insights into its current state and potential.
