Armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have been explored as a cathode material for aluminum batteries using density functional calculations. The stable system, in which AlCl4 is adsorbed on SWNT, exhibits an ultrafast charge/discharge rate with a more favorable diffusion on the inner surface than on the outer surface. Storage capacities as high as 275 mAh g−1 can be obtained in (25,25) SWNT as compared to previously studied graphite cathode (70 mAh g−1). This study provides a mean to further explore carbon nanotube materials for aluminum batteries. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Biswarup Pathak et al. on page 1944 in Issue 15, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/asia.201700570).
