Li-metal anode attracts great focus owing to its ultra-high specific capacity and the lowest redox potential. However, the uncontrolled growth of Li dendrite leads to severe security issues and limited cycle life. Herein, Al2O3 loading mesoporous carbon (Al2O3@MOF-C) derived from Al-based metal–orga...
