Abstract Directly harvesting solar power without traditional cells represents an efficient solution to the current energy challenges. Photo‐rechargeable batteries (PRBs) are receiving intense interest as they eliminate additional costs and losses associated with off‐grid generation. Herein, photo‐rechargeable aqueous Zinc‐ion (PRZIBs) constructed, using α‐MnO 2 nanowires bifunctional photoelectrodes reveal complex photo‐electrochemical effects in MnO PRZIBs. Through a series of situ characterizations under illumination, advantages intrinsic light based PRZIBs elucidated from three aspects: (1) inhibition Jahn‐Teller distortion via strengthened hydrogen bonding within , (2) suppression Mn 2+ dissolution through “protective layers” formed by photo‐promoted Zn /H + co‐intercalation, (3) acceleration desolvation electrolyte enabled abundant photogenerated holes. The demonstrate specific discharge capacity 308.1 mAh g −1 illumination (1 sun), along excellent cycling stability high conversion efficiency 0.68% (by photocharging only). In addition, interdigital micro‐PRZIBs successfully wearable sensors, demonstrating practical applicability. This work provides valuable insights into time‐resolved reaction mechanisms PRZIBs, opens new prospects for developing PRBs portable devices, i.e. smart textiles biosensors.
