There, I encountered the aluminum-air battery, a device that, its inventors say, could eliminate range anxiety from electric vehicles. It’s being developed by Phinergy, an Israeli start-up, and the aluminum giant Alcoa. [...] Aluminum-air works differently: instead of consuming stored energy, it generates electricity through a reaction created by air drawn into the battery cells, similar to how internal-combustion engines suck in air to help burn gasoline. The cathode is coated with a patented material — no details offered — that reacts with oxygen. The anode is an aluminum plate. thestar/autos/2014/10/24/aluminumair_battery_may_be_cure_for_range_anxiety.html
