Abstract The widespread application of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) is hindered by anode dendrite formation and side reactions, reducing cycling life performance. This study introduces Bi‐Bi₂O₃‐loaded carbon nanofibers (Bi‐Bi₂O₃@CNF) with hierarchical hollow structures surface grooves fabricated via electrospinning, thermal treatment, in situ growth. Experimental characterization density functional theory reveal that the high area fibrous network Bi‐Bi₂O₃@CNF enhance electron transport electrolyte distribution, effectively ohmic resistance concentration polarization. “Spatial Effect” provides ample space for uniform Zn deposition. Additionally, situ‐grown Bi‐Bi₂O₃, pyridinic nitrogen, pyrrolic C─O─Bi bonds induce strong zinc affinity electronegativity, generating an “Electrostatic Confinement amplifies “spatial effect” into a “Dual‐Confinement Effect.” synergy ensures deposition, suppresses dendrites mitigates Compared to pure anodes, reduces polarization overpotential 17.6%, increases hydrogen evolution 11.52%, maintains Coulombic efficiency 98.8% over 200 h. In full cells, Zn@Bi‐Bi₂O₃@CNF//MnO₂ achieves 73.0% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at mA g⁻¹. work promising strategy high‐efficiency, durable, safe AZIBs offers valuable insights design advanced energy storage materials.
