Aluminium Ion Graphene (Al-Gr) Battery Technology for a Safer and Sustainable Energy Future Abstract Objectives/Scope This paper aims to present a novel Aluminium-Graphene (Al-Gr) battery technology developed by a partner of Auric Consulting Services FZCO, Dubai. The objective is to demonstrate how this innovation addresses critical limitations of existing lithium-ion batteries—namely cost, safety, environmental impact, and lifecycle—while enhancing performance for various high-impact applications including renewable energy, EVs, aerospace, and consumer electronics. The paper evaluates its technical advantages and commercial viability. Methods, Procedures, Process The approach involved material innovation, combining aluminium metal with engineered graphene to develop a high-density, recyclable, and safe battery chemistry. The methodology emphasized sustainability through the use of abundant and non-toxic raw materials, while enhancing cyclability and energy density. Testing and validation included cathodic energy density assessment, lifecycle analysis, safety testing for thermal runaway risks, and charge-discharge cycle benchmarking. Additionally, big data and AI-driven battery management systems were integrated to improve reliability and monitoring. This multidisciplinary approach combined electrochemical engineering, safety protocol simulations, and environmental impact analysis to establish the viability of the Al-Gr battery across diverse industry needs. Results, Observations, Conclusions The Aluminium-Graphene battery demonstrated a cathodic energy density of up to 220 Wh/kg and a cycle life exceeding 3,000 cycles—significantly outperforming conventional lithium-ion batteries (500-1,500 cycles). It exhibits ultra-fast charging capabilities and a recyclability rate above 90%. Unlike lithium-ion systems, which pose risks of thermal runaway and require complex battery management systems, the Al-Gr battery offers intrinsic safety due to its nonflammable and non-toxic composition. These characteristics make it ideal for high-safety-demand sectors such as high-speed cars, aerospace, medical devices, and defence. In terms of cost, the use of aluminium—an abundant and low-cost material—lowers the overall production expense, addressing the escalating price challenge of lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Moreover, the environmental benefits are significant, reducing the ecological footprint compared to lithium mining and processing. Applications tested across renewable energy storage, e-mobility, and consumer electronics confirm the battery's versatility, resilience, and economic advantage. The outcomes reinforce the potential of Al-Gr technology as a next-generation energy storage solution aligning with global sustainability and decarbonization goals. Novel/Additive Information This paper introduces a globally unique aluminium-graphene battery chemistry, which offers a transformative leap in energy storage solutions. Its novelty lies in its ability to combine performance, affordability, and sustainability in a single platform. By reducing dependence on geopolitically sensitive and hazardous materials, and integrating AI for smart battery management, this work significantly contributes to the evolving body of literature on clean, efficient, and scalable energy storage technologies.
