Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are emerging as promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their inherent safety, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. However, widespread application is hindered by challenges such dendritic Zn growth, hydrogen evolution, corrosion-induced passivation, which compromise performance scalability. To overcome these obstacles, we developed a novel dual-interface modified zinc anode integrating fluoride (ZnF2)-silicon (Si) interface using fluorine-doped silicon nanoparticles encapsulated within hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (F-Si@HMCS). The in situ formation of ZnF2 layer provides high electrochemical stability, effectively suppressing dendrite formation, mitigating corrosion, reducing side reactions with the electrolyte. silica further facilitates uniform electrodeposition forming Si-O-Zn bonds, regulate electric field distribution lower nucleation barriers. Additionally, structure efficient ion transport acts buffer against volume changes during cycling. Consequently, F-Si@HMCS@Zn electrode exhibits long lifespan over 2500 h at 5 mA cm-2 capacity 0.5 symmetrical cell test. When coupled α-MnO2 cathodes, resulting ZIBs exhibit outstanding stable cycle life 2000 cycles 2 A g-1.

Abstract The reversibility and sustainability of Zn anode are greatly hampered by the dendrite growth side reactions. Orientational deposition, which allows assembly deposits in a highly ordered compact manner, offers solution to these issues enabling dendrite‐free anodes. Moreover, orientational deposition can effectively inhibit reaction reducing exposed surface area electrode. Despite significant progress field there is still lack clear guidelines for regulating orientation, underlying mechanisms remain rather elusive. Therefore, comprehensive review urgently needed provide mechanistic insight into deposition. This summarizes burgeoning strategies steering categorizing corresponding five aspects: heteroepitaxial homoepitaxial interfacial cultivation, crystal facet anchoring, current density regulation. distinct advantages limitations each mechanism controlling orientation discussed detail. Finally, challenges future trends pertaining envisaged, aiming essence realize reversible anodes ultimately bridge gap between reality ideal aqueous Zn‐ion batteries.
