a the nanocage assembly process of Al8(OH)8(R1)8(R2)8 (R1 = 4-methylpyrazole, R2 = benzoate) and the simulated adsorption sites of lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) on the nanocage. b the adsorption simulation details for Site I of the aluminum-oxo ring and Site II of the assembled mesoporous cage. In order to highlight the structural interaction, the non-interaction parts are virtualized by space-filling mode, while the important interaction sites and guests are represented by standard ball-and-stick mode. More details can be seen in Note S1. c the schematic of the supramolecular interaction of aluminum-oxo rings (AlOC) with poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO) segment. d the stretching vibration of ether oxide groups (C–O–C) in the region of 1050–1170 cm−1 of PEO and PEO-AlOC.
