Abstract Aqueous Zn ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a promising option for energy storage on large scale. However, the unsteady electric double layer (EDL) that causes continuous H 2 O and SO 4 2− induced side reactions byproducts, results in unstable anode electrolyte interphase (AEI) restricts practical application of AZIBs. A novel EDL reconstruction strategy is proposed by prior adsorption process organic molecules, achieving steady AEI uniform deposition. Experimental theoretical calculations illustrate zinc acetylacetonate (Zn(C 5 7 ) , Zn(acac) conceives pair polar groups (─C═O) contributes to stability AEI. As result, with additive (ZnSO + ZAH) realizes Zn//Zn cells highly invertible plating/stripping performance over 2400 h an average Coulombic efficiency 99.55%. Moreover, Zn//NH V 10 pouch ZAH maintain impressive capacity retention 55.81% during 3000 cycles. These spotlight enormous potential additive, providing feasibility reversible anodes.

Abstract Aqueous Zn‐ion batteries provide a low‐cost energy storage solution but face challenges such as dendrite formation and interface instability, which become more pronounced at high currents capacities. Herein, scalable sandwich‐structured heterogeneous anode is proposed for aqueous zinc that integrate three functionally synergistic layers. A robust 3D ZnO@C substrate (from calcined Bio‐MOF‐100, BMC) with dense nucleation sites guides orderly Zn deposition, while controllable pre‐deposited intermediate layer precisely regulates 2 ⁺ flux. An artificial indium‐based protective top‐layer chemically isolates the active from electrolyte, effectively suppresses interfacial corrosion, enhances interlayer contact to minimize impedance maintaining structural integrity during cycling. The synergies endow symmetric cell an ultra‐long cycle life exceeding 2000 h stable plating/stripping remarkable depth of discharge (76%) under current/areal capacity conditions (6 mA cm −2 /12 mAh ). Additionally, BMC@Zn@In//(NH 4 ) V 10 O 25 ·8H full battery achieves lifespan 5000 cycles, BMC@Zn@In//activated carbon hybrid supercapacitor demonstrates impressive 16 000 cycles. This study identifies mechanism ultra‐stable promising applications in batteries.
