Abstract Despite the widespread adoption of Zn anodes for aqueous energy storage, presence an inherent passivation layer and polycrystalline interface commercial foil consistently lead to non‐uniform electrodeposition, undermining stability practicality. Herein, study introduces a chemically polished metal anode (CP‐Zn) fabricated via simple immersion method. This “chemically polishing” process can effectively remove interfacial (de‐passivation), providing ample active sites plating/stripping ensuring uniformly distributed electric field 2+ ion flux. Additionally, selective etching during chemical polishing exposes more (002) crystal planes, promoting homogeneous smooth zinc deposition while suppressing related side reactions. Demonstrated by CP‐Zn anode, symmetric cell exhibits stable cycling over 4600 h at 1 mA cm −2 240 50% depth discharge (DOD), with CP‐Zn||VO 2 full maintaining ≈75.3% capacity retention 1000 cycles 3 A g −1 . strategy presents promising avenue advancing commercialization zinc‐ion batteries.

Abstract The feasibility of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries for large‐scale energy storage is hindered by the inherent challenges Zn anode. Drawing inspiration from cellular mechanisms governing metal ion and nutrient transport, erythritol introduced, a zincophilic additive, into ZnSO 4 electrolyte. This innovation stabilizes anode via chelation interactions between polysaccharides 2+ . Experimental tests in conjunction with theoretical calculation results verified that additive can simultaneously regulate solvation structure hydrated reconstruct hydrogen bond network within solution environment. Additionally, molecules preferentially adsorb onto anode, forming dynamic protective layer. These modifications significantly mitigate undesirable side reactions, thus enhancing transport deposition behavior. Consequently, there notable increase cumulative capacity, reaching 6000 mA h cm⁻ 2 at current density 5 cm −2 Specifically, high average coulombic efficiency 99.72% long cycling stability >500 cycles are obtained 1 Furthermore, full comprised MnO cathode an erythritol‐containing electrolyte deliver superior capacity retention. work provides strategy to promote performance anodes toward practical applications.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have emerged as promising candidates for energy storage due to their low cost, high safety, and theoretical density. However, the utilization of Zn anodes results in unsatisfied rate performance cycling stability dendrites, unsatisfactory stripping/plating efficiency, gas evolution. Herein, we propose a novel approach construct "rocking-chair" ZIBs with h-WO3 non-Zn anode address these issues. Metallic nonmetallic ion-doped (Cu-NWO) are designed deliver capacity an intercalation unique delocalized electronic structure active sites. Density functional theory calculations certify that Cu2+ preintercalation can strengthen electrochemical kinetics simultaneously reduce diffusion barriers on Zn2+ storage. The long cycle life density successfully realize self-powered electrochromic device, making them more suitable practical applications smart gird.
