Zinc dendrite, active iodine dissolution, and polyiodide shuttle caused by the strong interaction between liquid electrolyte solid electrode are chief culprits for capacity attenuation of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs). Herein, mullite is adopted as raw material to prepare Zn-based solid-state (Zn-ML) ZIBs through zinc ion exchange strategy. Owing merits low electronic conductivity, diffusion energy barrier, adsorption capability, Zn-ML can effectively isolate redox reactions anode AC@I

Rechargeable zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) represent a promising solution for large-scale energy storage due to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and high theoretical capacity. However, the development of anodes is hindered by challenges such as dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), low Coulombic efficiency stemming from undesirable interfacial processes in aqueous electrolytes. This review explores various strategies enhance anode performance, focusing on artificial SEI, morphology adjustments, electrolyte regulation, flowing electrolyte. These approaches aim suppress growth, mitigate side reactions, optimize electric double layer (EDL) Zn2+ solvation structures. By addressing these challenges, insights presented here pave way designing high-performance ZMBs, offering directions future research into scalable sustainable battery technologies.

Abstract The electrode interface concentration polarization attributed to the contradiction between sluggish mass transfer process and rapid electrochemical reduction kinetics significantly restricts practical application of Zn anode. Creating a moderate ions chemistry is essential for durable zinc‐ion batteries. In this work, trade‐off effect realized by selecting large‐size 4‐Aminomethyl cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (AMCA) molecule as electrolyte additive. Intriguingly, AMCA molecules reorganize 2+ solvation structure via robust coordination with reconstruct H‐bond networks, giving pulled desolvation process. Meanwhile, enlarges size push force, confining kinetics. balanced chemical environment maintained pull‐push interplay. Besides, can anchor on zinc surface create water‐poor microenvironment, fostering homogeneous (002) deposition effectively restricting water‐induced side‐reactions. Notably, Zn||Zn symmetric cell operates stably over 167 days at 20 mA cm −2 .
