A state-of-the-art structure of an aluminum–air battery consists of an aluminum anode, separator, air cathode, and electrolyte. The aluminum anode will be consumed through the electrochemical reaction and needs to be replaced when it is eventually used up or covered with aluminum hydroxide and needs to be mechanically recharged by replacing a new aluminum anode. The electrolyte provides a medium for the movement of ions, while the air cathode supplies oxygen for the electrochemical process. Separators isolate the anode and the cathode to prevent short circuit while allowing for the transfer of ions. In general, the electrochemical processes of an aluminum–air battery are shown below [4].

In (Briedis et al., 2017) the original design of a flexible aluminium-air battery is presented. The original battery consists of a cathode (copper mesh with carbon granules encapsulated in cotton jacket), which is surrounded by aluminium mesh anode.
