Abstract The widespread adoption of aqueous Zn ion batteries is hindered by the instability anode. Herein, an elegant strategy proposed to enhance stability anode incorporating nicotinic acid (NA), additive with a unique molecule‐ion conversion mechanism, optimize anode/electrolyte interface and typical ZnSO 4 electrolyte system. Experimental characterization theoretical calculations demonstrate that NA preferentially replaces H 2 O in original solvation shell adsorbs onto surface upon from molecule environment, thereby suppressing side reactions arising activated decomposition stochastic growth dendrites. Simultaneously, such molecule‐to‐ion mechanism may induce preferential deposition along (002) plane. Benefiting it, Zn||Zn symmetric battery cycles stably for 2500 h at 1 mA cm −2 , mAh . More encouragingly, Zn||AC full using Zn||VO also exhibit excellent performance improvements. This work emphasizes role variation form additives (especially weak acid‐based additives) fine‐tuning structure interface, hopefully enhancing various metal batteries.
