説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Aluminum metal is a promising anode material for next generation rechargeable batteries owing to its abundance, potentially dendrite‐free deposition, and high capacity. The rechargeable aluminum/sulfur (Al/S) battery is of great interest owing to its high energy density (1340 Wh kg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) and low cost. However, Al/S chemistry suffers poor reversibility owing to the difficulty of oxidizing AlS<jats:sub><jats:italic>x</jats:italic></jats:sub>. Herein, we demonstrate the first reversible Al/S battery in ionic‐liquid electrolyte with an activated carbon cloth/sulfur composite cathode. Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and microscopic results suggest that sulfur undergoes a solid‐state conversion reaction in the electrolyte. Kinetics analysis identifies that the slow solid‐state sulfur conversion reaction causes large voltage hysteresis and limits the energy efficiency of the system.</jats:p>
