An Illustration of the New Battery Concept

Caption

The new concept consists of an anode and cathode made of aluminium and an anthraquinone-based organic material, respectively. The organic cathode material enables efficient storage of the positive charge carriers from an aluminium and chlorine-based electrolyte - the solution in which ions can move between the electrodes.
