Performance of Aluminium Air Battery Using Different Electrolytes and MnO2 as a Catalyst.

Abstract

In an open format, more than 15 aluminum air cells were tested for performance. The anode was aluminium, with different electrolyte assembly, electrolyte absorber thickness, MnO2 catalyst ratio on activated carbon, aluminium plate thickness, and cell area. Graphical interpretations are produced to compare voltage and current output experimental results. MnO2 showed unsuccessful outcomes compared to other cell assemblies, but it helped achieve the same results with 20% less NaOH. NaOH was chosen because it is inexpensive and achieves the same action with a lower concentration, extending battery life.
