Abstract

The aluminum-air battery receives more attention to applications in electronic mobile devices, transportation systems, and has a higher energy density than other metal-air batteries. However, the aluminum-air battery is still not widely commercialized due to unacceptably thermal issues. Hence, this study focuses on the development of an aluminum-air battery casing, studies the performance of the aluminum-air battery and thermal distribution analysis by using thermography. A single cell with dimensions of 10 cm × 10 cm × 3 cm with an anode area of 6.5 cm² and an air cathode area of 6.5 cm² is designed. In addition, 1 M of NaOH acts as the electrolyte of the battery. The aluminum-air battery temperature distribution is determined by a thermal imaging camera. The maximum temperature of 34 °C has been found as the reaction occurs. The result of the battery tests shows that the battery can produce a maximum voltage of 1.5 V and has a constant current value of 40 mA. The discharge rate of the battery indicates that one cell can operate for 10 h. Thus, the proposed design for the battery casing has functioned at the optimal condition.
