Article Synopsis
- Selenium (Se) is a promising positive electrode material for rechargeable aluminum (Al) batteries due to its high capacity (2037 mA h g) and better electronic conductivity compared to sulfur.
- The electrochemical reactions of Se involve transformations between Se states, but there's confusion in current literature about these reactions and the conditions for reducing Se to aluminum selenide (AlSe).
- This study finds that amorphous selenium allows for the electrochemical reduction to AlSe, while crystalline selenium does not, and demonstrates that certain reactions can alter the structure of crystalline Se, helping maintain local structures even when losing crystallinity.
