General description

Aluminum chloride is a white crystalline solid slightly soluble in benzene. Its Lewis acidity and chemical reactivity make it a promising candidate for catalyzing various reactions within fuel cells, solar cells and batteries contributing to enhanced efficiency and performance.

Application

Aluminum chloride can be used:

To prepare room temperature ionic liquid electrolyte to fabricate high performance Al-graphene battery.
As an electrolyte component for aluminum-ion batteries.
As a precursor to prepare nanocomposite catalyst for electrochemical Friedel-Craft reaction.

Features and Benefits

The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Aluminum nitride can be synthesized from the elemnts with AlCl₃ added to help facilitate crystallization.

Aluminum (Al) is an environmental neurotoxin that affects cerebral functions and causes health complications. However, the role of Al in arbitrating glia homeostasis and pathophysiology remains obscure. Astrocyte, microglia activation (reactive gliosis), and associated inflammatory events play a decisive role
