Research BackgroundAluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are considered promising for large-scale energy storage because aluminum is abundant and inexpensive and offers exceptionally high theoretical volumetric (8046 mAh cm−3) and gravimetric (2981 mAh g−1) capacities. However, pure aluminum negative electrodes face severe challenges. On the one hand, defects in the native passivation layer lead to n...

Research BackgroundWith the rapid development of energy storage and power battery technologies, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as an important complementary system to lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant resources and cost advantages. However, SIBs still face significant challenges under high-voltage (≥4.2 V) and extreme temperature conditions (e.g., −60 °C and below). At hig...
