Abstract Aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs) have appealing advantages, including good safety, low cost, and high volumetric energy density. However, serious parasitic reactions dendrite growth at anodes hinder practical applications of AZMBs. Here, a nature‐inspired strategy is proposed to improve using plant‐cell derivatives as additives for ZnSO 4 electrolytes.

Abstract Zincophilic additives have been widely applied to stabilize Zn metal anodes owing their efficacy in regulating 2+ diffusion. However, high zincophilicity causes elevated desolvation barriers, contributing increased polarization and reduced stability, particularly under high‐current conditions. Herein, a novel molecular engineering approach is proposed that integrates steric hindrance H‐bond interactions promote the of zincophilic additives, thereby achieving high‐rate with minimized polarization.

NDPA boasts four solvation sites, which not only contribute exceptional zincophilicity, effectively diffusion but also exhibit significant hindrance, reducing number H₂O molecules, lowering dehydration energy. Additionally, NDPA's free groups form H‐bonds facilitating dissociation coordinated additives. Consequently, at current density 20 mA cm −2 , addition Zn||Zn symmetric cell improves lifespan from 37 h over 2000 reduces voltage 137 82 mV.
