Abstract

Front cover image: The cover places the electrochemical reactions of rechargeable aluminum batteries in the backdrop of an interstellar battlefield. The planet in the upper left corner represents the graphite cathode. The spacecraft and electromagnetic waves surrounding the planet symbolize the dynamic transfer of energy under the influence of the electric field. Among them, the yellow AlCl₄- ions, like missiles in a war, attack the metal aluminum in the lower right corner, representing the potential corrosion threat. Between these two, the blue sphere represents the artificial interface layer, symbolizing the technological barrier that disperses corrosive ions evenly, signifying the improvement of material durability through uniform corrosion distribution. This design successfully extends the cycle life of aluminum anodes and enhances the performance of rechargeable aluminum batteries, sparking anticipation for future developments in science and technology.
