The standard cell notation for a galvanic cell with aluminum (Al) and gold (Au) electrodes can be written as:
[ \text{Al (s)} | \text{Al}^{3+} (aq) || \text{Au}^{3+} (aq) | \text{Au (s)} ]
In this notation, the aluminum electrode is the anode (where oxidation occurs), and the gold electrode is the cathode (where reduction occurs). The double vertical line (||) represents the salt bridge separating the two half-cells.
