摘要

The move toward renewable energy has increased the interest across the world in next-generation battery technologies, and aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) have recently been suggested as an attractive alternative to lithium-based systems. With the availability of substantial pile of aluminum resources, rising amounts of energy demand and visionary planning of Viksit Bharat @2047, India has a competitive edge in pursuing AIB innovation. In the e-Mobility R&D Roadmap developed under the aegis of the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, aluminum-based batteries have been identified as a defining emerging technology that would help the national electrochemical energy storage sector diversify its engagement in energy storage. This paper will be an India-focused review of the evolution of AIB, critical electrochemistry, progress in cathode and electrolyte formats and its growth potential in local research and start-up ecosystems. Additionally, a quantitative approach was used, and primary data were acquired by taking 213 respondents who were researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers. A complete five-point Likert-scale questionnaire was analyzed that measures six constructs, the cathode & energy challenges (CEC), electrolyte challenges (EC), investment & cost challenges (ICC), standards & regulation challenges (SRC), supply chain challenges (SCC), relating it to industry growth potential (IGP). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to data analysis reveals that CEC, EC, ICC and SCC are in significant sync with growth potential but SRC was not significant. The results underline the necessity of precision innovation, cost-effectiveness, and sustainable supply chain mechanisms to hasten the embrace of AIB in India.
