It is mainly used in square lithium batteries. They are environmentally friendly and lighter than steel shell batteries while having strong plasticity and stable chemical properties. Generally, the material of the aluminum shell is aluminum-manganese alloy, and its main alloy components are Mn, Cu, Mg, Si, and Fe.
The shell materials used in lithium batteries on the market can be roughly divided into three types: steel shell, aluminum shell and pouch cell (i.e. aluminum plastic film, soft pack). We will explore the characteristics, applications and differences between them in this article.

Consequently, any headway in safeguarding aluminum from corrosion not only benefits Al-air batteries but also contributes to the enhanced stability and performance of aluminum components in LIBs. This underscores the broader implications of research in this field for the advancement of energy storage technologies. 5.
The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. In the end, they had created high-energy density batteries that could potentially outperform lithium-ion batteries. Postdoctoral researcher Dr. Congcheng Wang builds a battery cell.
Scientists are hoping to make the world's first safe and efficient non-toxic aqueous aluminum radical battery. Scientists have now reported the first stage of developing these novel batteries. Scientists in Australia and China are hoping to make the world's first safe and efficient non-toxic aqueous aluminium radical battery.
