...Over the past 30 years, research efforts concerning rechargeable variants have encountered numerous problems, such as electrode material disintegration, low cell discharge voltage, capacitive behavior without discharge voltage plateaus, high self-discharge rate, insufficient cycle life with rapid capacity decay, and lack of rechargeability (Muldoon et al., 2014; Lin et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2017) as well as inconsistent research results (see below and Nestler et al....

...A secondary aluminum-ion battery based on pure aluminummetal as negative electrode and an aqueous electrolyte is unfeasible (Liu et al., 2017), because aluminum deposition only occurs at potentials far outside the stability region of water (see Figure 3)....
