Aluminum (Al) can alloy with Li at a lithiation potential of ~0.2 V to form LiAl, offering a theoretical capacity of 993 mAh g-1. Moreover, the merits of high electronic conductivity, abundant resources, and environmental benignity endow the Al anode competitive for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the natural Al2O3 passivation layer leads to a large voltage dip (0.1 V), which would interrupt the lithiation process and result in a limited capacity. Meanwhile, the volume expansion (97 %) always makes the electrode in an unstable structure. Herein, we demonstrate a neat avenue to replace the inactive Al2O3 layer with active Sn at room temperature and further encapsulate them into the carbon-based matrix for LIBs. Not any acid or tedious process is needed. Benefiting from the elimination of Al2O3 and the cooperation of carbon matrix, the as-prepared Al-based anodes (Al@Sn@GO pellets and Al@C-Sn pellets) exhibit little voltage dip (0.03 V), higher reversible capacities, and longer cycling life compared to the commercial Al pellet electrode. Considering the low-cost, energy-saving, and facile scalable preparation of the Al-based anodes, our work presents an attractive vision for the development of the practical Al-based anode.
