Abstract: An energy storage device made of an aluminum electrode includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte. The negative electrode is the aluminum electrode. The separator is arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The electrolyte is arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and partly located in the separator. The electrolyte includes an aluminum halide and an ionic liquid. The aluminum halide is configured to produce a faradaic pseudo-capacitance reaction in the energy storage device. The ionic liquid is configured to cooperate with the faradaic pseudo-capacitance reaction in the energy storage device.

Abstract: An aluminum battery separator applied between a positive electrode and a negative electrode of an aluminum battery includes a polymer material layer. An electrolyte is included between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the aluminum battery. The polymer material layer includes one or more polymer materials, and the aluminum battery separator does not include a glass fiber material.

Abstract: Provided herein is a composition for forming a metal deposit on a substrate. The composition consists essentially of a carboxamide, trialkylamine chloride, and a metal salt. The carboxamide comprises Formula (I). The trialkylamine chloride and the carboxamide are in molar ratio between 1:1 and 1:30 to form an ionic liquid. The trialkylamine chloride is trimethylamine chloride (TMACl), triethylamine chloride (TEACl), triethanolamine chloride, or combinations thereof. The metal salt has the formula MXy, wherein M is a metal, X is a halide, and y is an oxidation number of M, the metal salt being in a concentration between about 0.2 and about 1.5 moles per liter of the ionic liquid. The metal deposit has an average grain size between about 0.2 ?m and about 3 ?m and contains less than about 1 mol % of each oxygen, carbon, and chlorine.

Abstract: A method for spot electroplating aluminum onto a metallic substrate without submersion or dipping of the metallic substrate in an electroplating bath, the method comprising: (i) spot coating said metallic substrate with an aluminum ion-containing electrolyte contained within a protective structure possessing at least one aperture, and releasing said electrolyte from said at least one aperture onto said metallic substrate to form a coating of said electrolyte thereon, wherein said electrolyte is in contact with an anode; and (ii) applying a voltage potential between the anode and metallic substrate polarized as cathode when the aluminum ion-containing electrolyte is released from said aperture and forms a coating on the metallic substrate, to produce a coating of aluminum on the substrate. Devices, such as brush and ball pen plating devices, for achieving the above-described method are also described.
