Elemental aluminum is an exciting battery anode material due to its high abundance and volumetric capacity (8040 mAh cm−3). However, it tends to form a stubborn surface oxide layer that blocks ion transport through the electrode–electrolyte interphase and stops battery cyclability. To circumvent thi...
