Overview

Aluminum is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13, a lightweight, silvery metal that is among the most abundant metallic elements in the Earth's crust. Valued for its low density, good strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and high thermal and electrical conductivity, aluminum is used extensively across industries including aerospace, automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics. Its chemistry also encompasses a wide range of aluminum compounds, such as aluminum salts and aluminum phosphide, which have their own industrial, agricultural, and biological significance. Within the broad scope of New Developments in Chemistry, research relevant to aluminum has examined the use of a plant leaf extract as an inhibitor of aluminum corrosion in acidic conditions, the effects of aluminum phosphide on transferase enzymes in tissues, and the effects of aluminium sulphate on biological structures. These studies span the corrosion behavior, compounds, and biological interactions of aluminum and its derivatives. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to aluminum and chemistry, offering researchers and students freely accessible scientific work across the field.
