Metallic zinc (Zn) is one of the most attractive multivalent-metal anode materials in post-lithium batteries because its high abundance, low cost and theoretical capacity. However, it usually suffers from large voltage polarization, Coulombic efficiency propensity for dendritic failure during Zn stripping/plating, hindering practical application aqueous rechargeable zinc-metal (AR-ZMBs). Here we demonstrate that anionic surfactant-assisted situ surface alloying Cu remarkably improves reversibility 3D nanoporous electrodes potential use as high-performance AR-ZMB materials. As a result zincophilic ZnxCuy alloy shell guiding uniform deposition with zero nucleation overpotential facilitating stripping via ZnxCuy/Zn galvanic couples, self-supported exhibit superior dendrite-free stripping/plating behaviors ambient electrolyte, ultralow polarizations under current densities up to 50 mA cm‒2, exceptional stability 1900 h utilization. This enables full cells constructed KzMnO2 cathode achieve specific energy ~ 430 Wh kg‒1 99.8% efficiency, retain 86% after long-term cycles > 700 h.

Stable zinc (Zn)/electrolyte interface is critical for developing rechargeable aqueous Zn-metal batteries with long-term stability, which requires the dense and stable Zn electrodeposition. Herein, an interfacial lattice locking (ILL) layer constructed via electro-codeposition of Cu onto electrodes. The ILL shows a low misfit (δ = 0.036) Zn(002) plane selectively locks orientation deposits, enabling epitaxial growth deposits by layer. Benefiting from unique orientation-guiding robustly adhered properties, enables symmetric Zn||Zn cells to achieve ultralong life span >6000 h at 1 mA cm-2 mAh , overpotential (65 mV) 10 plating/stripping >90 ultrahigh depth discharge (≈85%). Even limited supply high current density (8.58 ), ILL@Zn||Ni-doped MnO2 can still survive >2300 cycles.
