- Aqueous Al-air batteries (AABs) are efficient energy storage devices, but issues like self-corrosion and parasitic reactions in the electrolyte hinder their performance.
- The introduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) as an electrolyte additive significantly reduces harmful reactions and improves battery efficiency, with the hydrogen evolution rate dropping from 0.70 to 0.30 mL cm per min.
- Experimental results show a 55% increase in inhibition efficiency, and the battery's specific capacity density rose from 943.6 to 2381.7 mA h g, enhancing overall performance and anode utilization.
