Abstract While aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) have shown great promise for large‐scale energy storage, a series of interfacial side reactions derived from the decomposition active water molecules in Zn 2+ solvation structures seriously hinder practical application AZMBs. Recently, regulating electrolytes has been proven to be effective alleviating reactions. Advanced characterization techniques probe provide powerful tools comprehensively understanding underlying relationship between and performance Although significant processes achieved electrolyte engineering mechanistic preliminarily established, systematic summary is still absent. Considering importance engineering, comprehensive review this topic necessary. In article, advantages scope ever‐used studying are introduced remaining challenges potential opportunities future discussed.
