Aqueous zinc (Zn) metal batteries (ZMBs) have received great attention due to their safety and environmental friendliness. Although aqueous electrolytes facilitate fast kinetics in oxide cathodes, incompatibility with the Zn anodes triggers severe hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) dendrite growth. Herein, a self-phase separated electrolyte (SPSE) is proposed fulfill contradictory requirements of anode cathode ZMBs. Molecular modeling experimental investigations verify that hydrophobic fluorinated solvent moderate dielectric constant large Hildebrand parameter disparity relative water contributes spontaneous aqueous–nonaqueous phase separation within SPSE against stirring aging. In as-developed SPSE, nonaqueous effectively inhibits HER formation by synergistic effect regulated deposition protective solid interphase (SEI). Meanwhile, ensures ion insertion/extraction dynamics. Consequently, allows for Zn||Zn symmetrical cells 2500 h cycle life ultralow corrosion current (0.08 mA cm–2). Notably, Zn|SPSE|V2O5 full cell sustains over 3000 cycles negligible corrosion, pouch demonstrates remarkable operation stability repeated rollover. Our design concept paves promising path practical ZMBs combine long-term cyclability, enhanced safety, durability.

Abstract The stability of aqueous zinc metal batteries is significantly affected by side reactions and dendrite growth on the anode interface, which primarily originate from water anions. Herein, we introduce a multi H‐bond site additive, 2, 2′‐Sulfonyldiethanol (SDE), into an electrolyte to construct sieving‐type electric double layer (EDL) hydrogen bond interlock in order address these issues. On one hand, SDE replaces H 2 O SO 4 2− anions that are adsorbed surface, expelling O/SO EDL thereby reducing content at interface. other when Zn 2+ de‐solvated interface during plating, strong interaction between can trap EDL, further decreasing their This effectively sieves them out inhibits reactions. Moreover, unique characteristics trapped restrict diffusion, enhancing transference number promoting dendrite‐free deposition Zn. Consequently, utilizing SDE/ZnSO enables excellent cycling Zn//Zn symmetrical cells Zn//MnO full with lifespans exceeding 3500 h 2500 cycles respectively.

Abstract Despite the advantages of low cost, safety, and environmental friendliness, aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) encounter challenges such as zinc dendrite formation, severe side reactions, electrolyte instability. Many effective additives exhibit limited solubility in water, thus reducing their practical application potential. In this study, a dissolution‐promoting strategy is proposed by introducing citric acid (CA) to enhance dissolution aspartame (APM), resulting sulfate electrolyte. Simulations experiments indicate that CA regulates both solvation structure Zn 2+ pH electrolyte, while APM preferentially integrates into electric double layer form solid interphase with CA, thereby suppressing hydrogen evolution reactions. Consequently, zinc‐zinc symmetric cell exhibits an extended lifespan over 4,500 h at 1.0 mA cm −2 /1.0 mAh .
