Abstract

Aluminum-air (Al-air) battery becomes one of the demanding batteries to power up an electronic device in our daily life. However, the corrosion behaviour of aluminium anodes is a major issue that must be carefully considered in the Al-air battery. This study is aimed to develop an Al-air battery single cell model and to simulate the corrosion by using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The rate of corrosion at the anode and the effect of this corrosion to the performance of the Al-air battery is being study. As a result, the velocity profile of the anode corrosion and the electrolyte flow has been determined. These two measured parameters are closely significant toward corrosion behaviour. Thus, it has been proven that the SPH method is capable of modelling and simulating the corrosion behaviour in Al-air batteries.
