Abstract: The oxidation of carbon anodes in aluminum electrolytic cell represents a significant challenge in the low−carbon development of the aluminum electrolysis industry. To provide better insights into the latest trends and hot topics in the field of anti−oxidation technology for aluminum electrolytic carbon anodes, a visual analysis was conducted using CiteSpace software. This analysis reviewed relevant literature from CNKI and Web of Science. The results reveal that research in this field can be categorized into three stages: early, rapid development, and saturation. Notably, China has taken the lead in this area, with research institutions such as Central South University and Northeastern University focusing on the study and preparation of inert anode materials. In recent years, research on coating materials has gained significant attention and become a key area of focus in China.
