The rechargeable aluminum–sulfur (Al–S) battery is a promising next generation electrochemical energy storage system owing to its high theoretical capacity of 1672 mAh g−1 and in combining low‐cost and naturally abundant elements, Al and S. However, to date, its poor reversibility and low lifespan h...
