Abstract
The Lithium-ion battery has been widely used in the development of electric vehicles. However, awareness of battery safety has been encouraged to use aluminium based batteries. Therefore, in this study, an aluminium ion battery cell with 25 mm × 100 mm of diameter and height respectively was designed using the SolidWorks 2016 software. Then the aluminium-ion battery was fabricated using different electrolyte types including potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and a mixture of sodium hypochlorite with sodium hydroxide (NaOCl + NaOH) to determine the battery characteristics. The battery characteristics were obtained using an Arduino battery performance tester connected to the PLX-DAQ software as an interface. A thermography test was also performed to observe the heat distribution on the outer surface of the battery using a thermal imager model U5855A TruIR thermal imager connected to the TrueIR Analysis and Reporting Tool software. It is observed that aluminium-ion battery using a mixture of sodium hypochlorite with sodium hydroxide provides good battery characteristics which specific voltage and current density obtained as 1.13 V for and 79.31 mA respectively with 8 h operating time. The heat distribute over the surface was moderate with the highest temperature of 37 °C and constantly for 15 min. As a conclusion, an aluminium-ion battery has been developed for future review in electric vehicles application.
