Problems solved by technology

However, aluminum is extremely prone to self-corrosion and hydrogen evolution corrosion in alkaline electrolytes, and a dense oxide film is easily formed on the surface, resulting in anode passivation and affecting the electrochemical activity of aluminum.
[0003] The above problems can be overcome to a certain extent by adding Ga, In, Sn and other metal elements. The main principle is to form low-melting point compounds, destroy the passivation film on the aluminum surface, or reduce self-corrosion by increasing the hydrogen evolution potential. These methods It is difficult to take into account the open circuit voltage while reducing the corrosion of the aluminum plate, or it is easy to aggravate the self-corrosion of the aluminum plate while increasing the activity of the aluminum plate, which limits the application of aluminum-air batteries
