4. In this work aluminum was considered as energy storage and carrier. To produce 1 kg of aluminum, 2 kg of alumina, 0.4–0.5 kg of coal, 0.02–0.08 kg of cryolite and 13.4–20 kWh of electrical energy are required. Total energy intensity of aluminum was estimated to be about 100 MJ/kg.
Aluminum-based energy storage can participate as a buffer practically in any electricity generating technology. Today, aluminum electrolyzers are powered mainly by large conventional units such as coal-fired (about 40%), hydro (about 50%) and nuclear (about 5%) power plants , , , .
Calorific value of aluminum is about 31 MJ/kg. Only this energy can be usefully utilized within aluminum-fueled power plant. So, it shows the efficiency limit. If 112.8 MJ are deposited, the maximum cycle efficiency of aluminum-based energy storage is as follows: 31 MJ 72.8 MJ = 43 %. This percentage represents the total-thermal efficiency.
Energy storage capacity of aluminium Aluminium has a high storage density. Theoretically, 8.7 kWh of heat and electricity can be produced from 1 kg of Al, which is in the range of heating oil, and on a volumetric base (23.5 MWh/m 3) even surpasses the energy density of heating oil by a factor of two. 4.2. The Power-to-Al process
The coming of aluminum-based energy storage technologies is expected in some portable applications and small-power eco-cars. Since energy generation based on aluminum is cleaner than that of fossil fuel, the use of aluminum is defensible within polluted areas, e.g. within megapolises.

The first generation of batteries was invented in the Parthian empire around 200 BC as one of the oldest human inventions in materials science [13, 14]. Tremendous efforts have been accomplished in recent decades to improve the quality and electrochemical properties of rechargeable batteries. The novel. . Numerous investigations have been done to enhance the electrochemical properties of the supercapacitor electrodes in recent decades. Using biochar. . The batteries have higher power densities than supercapacitors, and also, the supercapacitors have higher power densities than the batteries. But the hybrid EES devices have higher. Energy production and storage from disposable biomass materials have been widely developed in recent years to decrease environmental pollutions and production costs.

The electrochemical results of the EES electrodes from rice biochar materials have determined the considerable electrochemical performance of the rice wastes biochar (especially rice husk). The rice wastes have three significant advantages including environmental, economical, and electrochemical features.
Rice has been widely cultivated in the world especially in Asian countries. Therefore, rice wastes especially rice husk can be used for biomass valorization procedures. The rice biochar materials have been used to fabricate the EES electrodes including the electrodes of the batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid EES devices.
Also, rice wastes can be used for the preparation of the EES electrodes. The EES devices have four main parts including electrodes (anode and cathode), binder, electrolyte, and membrane (separator). The electrodes have the most significant role in the performance of the EES devices.
Using rice wastes not only reduced the environmental pollutions and production costs but also improve the electrochemical properties of the EES devices. Hence, this process should be developed in the next studies especially for the preparation of the hybrid EES devices. The EES devices have a great influence on modern life.
The rice wastes have three significant advantages including environmental, economical, and electrochemical features. The next studies should develop different biochar modification techniques to enhance the electrochemical performance of the biochar materials.
