As a result, the repeated shedding and reforming of the layer consumes lithium and reduces the batterys capacity.
Also, the metal could expand and shrink freely by enclosing the aluminium inside a shell.
The battery has four times the capacity of current lithium-ion batteries and deteriorate over lesser period of time.
The research succeeds in dealing with problems faced in the past by using aluminium in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
She further adds that the materials are cheap and it also has simple and easy scalable manufacturing method.
The work was landed support by the National Science Foundation and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
The study was published in the journalNature Communications.
