Enhancing Cycling Stability of Aqueous Aluminum‐Metal Batteries via LaCl3‐Modulated Interfacial Reactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the aqueous AlCl3 electrolyte of aluminum‐metal batteries, the introduction of LaCl3 adjusts the solvation structure of Al3+ and enhances its diffusion level. The oxide precipitate formed by La3+ covers the aluminum metal anode and effectively alleviates corrosion reactions, thereby improving the cycling stability of the battery.
