Research on the development of aluminum-air batteries which will be used in energy efficient, economical electric vehicles is reviewed with information on the research strategy, performance characteristics of aluminum-air cells, vehicle design, and the net energy required and energy costs for producing and operating Al-air batteries. The aluminum-air battery is being developed to provide a propulsion source for a general-purpose electric vehicle that has the acceleration, range, and rapid-refueling characteristics of current automobiles. The objective is petroleum conservation in a time frame in which synthetic liquids will enter large scale production. Two parallel development paths are being pursued. These involve hardware developments using model electrodes, and research directed toward cost-effective electrodes. The project is currently directed toward developing rapidly-refuelable single cells. Successful development of battery hardware and electrodes would make possible a general-purpose vehicle with costs and energy consumption similar to advanced ICE vehicles using fuels synthesized from coal, but with the advantages of a broad primary energy base and an emissionless vehicle.
