To promote sustainable development and reduce fossil fuel consumption, there is a growing demand for high-performance, cost-effective, safe environmentally friendly batteries large-scale energy storage systems. Among the emerging technologies, zinc-air (ZABs) have attracted significant interest. By integrating principles of traditional zinc-ion cells, ZABs offer remarkably high theoretical density at lower production cost compared to current state-of-the-art lithium-ion (LIBs). However, critical challenge remains in developing high-performance zinc anode. Herein, this review provides comprehensive analysis status advancements anodes rechargeable aqueous ZABs. We begin by highlighting major challenges underlying mechanisms associated with including issues such as uneven deposition, dendrite growth hydrogen evolution reaction. Then, discusses recent anode modifications, focusing on strategies alloying, surface porosity zincophilicity. reviewing latest research, we also identify existing gaps pose questions that need further exploration push field forward. The goal inspire new research directions more efficient anodes.

Zinc-bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) hold great promise for grid-scale energy storage owing to their high theoretical density and cost-effectiveness. However, conventional ZBFBs suffer from inhomogeneous zinc deposition sluggish Br2/Br- redox kinetics, resulting in a short cycle life low power density. Herein, multiscale porous electrode with abundant nitrogen-containing functional groups is developed by growing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 situ on graphite felts, followed facile carbonization process simultaneously tackle both the challenges. Theoretical experimental results reveal that exhibit adsorption toward atoms, while microstructures promote pore-level mass transport, thereby compact uniform deposition. In meantime, boosts reaction kinetics due its catalytic activity large surface area. As result, equipped optimized electrodes at negative positive sides can operate an ultrahigh current of 250 mA cm-2 maintaining efficiency 68.0%, far surpassing pristine felts (50.7%). Remarkably, battery exhibits excellent cycling stability over 2000 cycles without obvious decay. This study provides simple yet effective method developing high-performance critical challenges ZBFBs, promoting commercialization this promising technology.
