The rising energy crisis and environmental concerns caused by fossil fuels have accelerated the deployment of renewable and sustainable energy sources and storage systems. As a result of immense progress in the field, cost-effective, high-performance, and long-life rechargeable batteries are imperative to meet the current and future demands for sustainable energy sources. Currently, lithium-ion batteries are widely used, but limited lithium (Li) resources have caused price spikes, threatening progress toward cleaner energy sources. Therefore, post-Li, batteries that utilize highly abundant materials leading to cost-effective energy storage solutions while offering desirable performance characteristics are urgently needed. Aluminum-ion battery (AIB) is an attractive concept that uses highly abundant aluminum while offering a high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric capacity of 2980 mAh g À 1 and 8046 mAh cm À 3 , respectively. As a result, intensified efforts have been made in recent years to utilize numerous electrolytes, anodes, and cathode materials to improve the electrochemical performance of AIBs, and potentially create high-performance, low-cost, and safe energy storage devices. Herein, recent progress in the electrolyte, anode, and cathode active materials and their utilization in AIBs and their related characteristics are summarized. Finally, the main challenges facing AIBs along with future directions are highlighted.

“…For instance, the energy density of such batteries fades quickly due to depletion in the electrolyte concentration. 47 Contrary to the traditional liquid electrolytes, ionic liquids are identified to enhance the Al-ion batteries' cycling stability, but at the cost of slow reaction kinetics. This is inevitable due to the substantial size of the chloroaluminate species [(Al x Cl y ) − ] in ionic liquids.…”

The quest for cost‐effective and TWh‐scale stationary energy storage systems has caused a surge of research on novel post‐Li‐ion batteries that consist solely of abundant chemical elements. Nonaqueous Al batteries, inter alia, are appealing as an inexpensive electrochemical technology owing to the high natural abundance of aluminum. A critical assessment of the literature on Al batteries, however, points to numerous misconceptions in this field. The latter is primarily linked to the false assessment of the charge storage redox reactions occurring upon cycling of Al batteries. To ensure the constructive progress of Al batteries, in this essay, the current scientific understanding of the operational mechanisms of two commonly studied Al battery systems, Al‐ion and Al dual‐ion batteries are summarized. Furthermore, the main pitfalls in interpretation and reporting of the electrochemical performance of Al cathode materials and cell‐level energy densities of Al batteries are clarified along with core challenges currently limiting their development. Toward this end, the subject of the charge storage balancing of Al dual‐ion batteries is discussed.
