General description

Aluminum chloride is a white crystalline solid slightly soluble in benzene. Its Lewis acidity and chemical reactivity make it a promising candidate for catalyzing various reactions within fuel cells, solar cells and batteries contributing to enhanced efficiency and performance.

Application

Aluminum chloride can be used:
  • To prepare room temperature ionic liquid electrolyte to fabricate high performance Al-graphene battery.
  • As an electrolyte component for aluminum-ion batteries.
  • As a precursor to prepare nanocomposite catalyst for electrochemical Friedel-Craft reaction.

Features and Benefits

The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Aluminum nitride can be synthesized from the elemnts with AlCl3 added to help facilitate crystallization.

Environmental agent aluminum, a well-known neurotoxin, has been proposed to play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and produced clinical and pathological features which were strikingly similar to those seen in AD brain, such as neurofibrillary tangles.
