Aluminum-ion　batteries　(AIBs)　are　considered　to　be　alternatives　to　meet　the　increasing　demands　for　energy　storage　due　to　their　high　theoretical　capacity,　low　cost,　high　safety,　and　the　rich　abundance　of　aluminum.　Chalcogen　materials　(sulfur,　selenium,　and　tellurium　(SSTs))　with　high　theoretical　capacities　are　deemed　to　be　promising　cathode　materials　in　AIBs.　However,　the　challenges　including　sluggish　reaction　kinetics　and　inferior　cycling　stability　in　Al-SSTs　batteries　still　remain.　In　order　to　realize　the　advantages　and　overcome　the　drawbacks　of　SSTs　electrodes,　several　strategies　have　been　attempted.　In　this　perspective,　the　approaches　in　terms　of　SSTs　cathodes,　electrolytes,　separators,　and　Al　metal　anodes　to　improve　the　electrochemical　performance　of　Al-SSTs　batteries　are　summarized　and　elaborated.　The　electrochemistry　of　Al-SSTs　batteries,　involving　different　valence　states　of　the　electrochemical　products　is　also　presented　and　highlighted.　The　issues　to　be　solved　for　practical　applications　are　listed　and　possible　future　directions　for　the　development　of　more　reliable　Al-SSTs　batteries　are　discussed.
