Solution Overview

Solution Name

One-line solution summary.

Cheaper, efficient, reliable, sustainable alternative battery to Li-ion.

What is your solution?

Development of Aluminium ion Batteries for mobile and stationary Energy Storage. They are far more cost-effective and eco-friendly than Li-ion. Can facilitate faster electrification of all industries.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

Li-ion batteries are costly, especially for an average indian. People are willing to adopt clean energy solutions, cost and lack of infrastructure act as hindrance. I want to eliminate that.

Who does your solution serve? In what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Aluminium ion batteries are cheaper and more energy dense than Li-ion. They can make EVs cheaper and grid-scale stroage feasible. They are easier to manufacture and will easily be adopted in the market.

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

I have conducted several surveys personally, while also reviewing published surveys, scientific papers and also word of mouth. I have evaluated desired specs for a battery from potential customers.

Which aspects of the Challenge does your solution most closely address?

Taking action to combat climate change and its impacts (Sustainability)

Our solution's stage of development:

Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea

Explain why you selected this stage of development for your solution—in other words, what have you accomplished to date?
