Alternative to Lithium-Ion batteries, IICT in the development process of 'Rechargeable Aluminium Batteries'

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

On January 20, 2023, the southern Indian state, Telangana's capital Hyderabad, based Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) announced its venture into developing Rechargeable Aluminium Batteries (RAB). These well-known sustainable energy storage systems can be an efficient alternative to Lithium-Ion batteries, which currently dominate the battery sector.

In this regard, an MoU was signed and exchanged in the presence of senior officials from the research institution and Luminous Power Technologies by MD, Luminous Power Technologies, Preeti Bajaj, and Director, IICT, Dr Srinivasa Reddy.

According to senior scientists, IICT already has a track record as a knowledge partner in the chemical sector. It is now working on materials for alternative battery chemistries as next-generation technologies.

Dr Srinivasa Reddy, the Director at IICT, said, "Our focus is to develop sustainable solutions using abundantly available materials on earth's crust, and I am glad Luminous Power Technologies has joined us as an industry partner to translate the environmentally friendly energy storage technology on RABs being developed by our scientists."

Among the post-lithium energy storage systems (ESS) that promise excellent safety and cheaper cost, RABs are among the most promising.

Future of the Aluminium in Transporation Sector

While the future availability of lithium is always in doubt, aluminium is a plentiful metal, and its battery technology is regarded as being cost-effective.

Preeti Bajaj, the Managing Director of Luminous Power Technologies, said, “We are particularly energized to see how we can add value to our consumers and industry by actively supporting the Science and Technology community”.
