摘要

Based on the most abundant metal of aluminum (A1),the concept of rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) has been proposed for a few decades,offering the possibilities to replace the benchmark lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in portable electronics and large-scale grid for energy storage [1].However,a number of problems such as the lack of proper cathode materials,low working voltage,insufficient capacity and poor cycling stability have hindered the AIBs from practical applications [2-4].In a paper recently published in Nature,Dai's group [5] had made a breakthrough on a new AIB system in conceptual cell design and electrochemical performance.
