The aluminum-air battery has potential to serve as a near-term power source for electric vehicles. Parasitic hydrogen evolution caused by anode corrosion during the discharge process, however, has long been recognized as an obstacle to further commercialization of the aluminum-air battery. This paper focuses on the parasitic reaction impacts with an aim of better understanding and managing the parasitic reaction. On the basis of a mathematical model, effects of the parasitic hydrogen evolution on cell flow field, ionic mass transfer and current density are investigated. Besides, the possibility of utilizing the parasitically evolved hydrogen to increase the total power output is evaluated.

“…This is mainly because Zn-air batteries are electrically rechargeable and, therefore, amenable to storing renewable solar and wind power, while Al-air batteries can only be mechanically recharged by replacing Al anodes. In addition, Al suffers from high corrosion rates in alkaline media [3] and the energy efficiency of Zn-air batteries is almost 6e9 times higher than that of Al-air batteries [4].…”

SUMMARYAn innovative idea of using aluminum as anodes for the combined production of electric energy and hydrogen has been increased in recent years. This study developed a mathematical model for a simplified aluminum-water electrochemical co-generator, a typical type of the combined production systems. A reasonable agreement between the model predictions and experimental data was obtained. Effects of various factors, including the geometric parameters, electrolyte feeding velocity as well as electrode kinetics, were examined for the aluminum-water electrochemical co-generator based on the modeling equations. Some critical values for the future design of the aluminum-water co-generator were proposed. Copyright r 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
