Aqueous zinc (Zn) metal batteries have been regarded as the most promising aqueous batteries due to their low redox potential, high theoretical capacity, and abundant Zn resources. Unfortunately, Zn dendrite growth and serious side reactions drastically curtail the cycle life, severely affecting their large‐scale application. Herein, a multifunctional ordered Zn‐aminotrimethylene phosphonic acid (Zn‐ATMP) film is in situ modified on the surface of metal Zn via a facile etching process. The modified layer can not only retard the side reactions and suppress the corrosion rate, but also lower the Zn nucleation overpotential and accelerate diffusion and homogenize deposition of Zn2+ due to the strong Zn affinity. Consequently, the as‐prepared Zn‐ATMP@Zn anode in the symmetric cell enables long‐term lifespan (over 1000 h) at 10.0 mA cm−2 with a high areal capacity of 5 mAh cm−2. Furthermore, when assembled with a SeS2‐based cathode, a long lifespan for over 280 cycles at 2 C can be achieved for the aqueous Zn–SeS2 battery. This work provides a reliable strategy for constructing stabilized Zn anode and accelerating the development of an aqueous energy storage system.

“…To further investigate the Zn 2+ plating/stripping kinetics, the exchange current density associated with the Zn electrodeposition process at an increasing current density from 0.2 to 20 mA cm −2 is calculated by the following relation: 35,36

i goodbreak= i_{0} \frac{Fη}{2 italicRT},

here, i 0 is the exchange current density, R and F are the gas and Faradaic constants, T is the absolute temperature, i is current density, and η is total overpotential. The current density and total overpotential data are obtained from Figure 2D,E.…”

Zn metals have gained the immense attention of researchers for their wide employment as the anode of high-performance aqueous batteries. Nonetheless, the Zn anodes suffer from uncontrollable dendrite growth and parasitic side reactions, which substantially shorten the battery lifespan. This study proposes an interfacial assembly of a metal-polyphenol coordination coating on Zn anodes to regulate Zn 2+ deposition behavior. Bismush-coordinated polyphenolic ligands (i.e., tannic acid, TA) create a functional interface that could promote Zn's uniform nucleation and plating/striping kinetics. Moreover, the artificial coating acts as a physical barrier to inhibit surface corrosion. As a consequence, the TA-Bi-modified Zn anodes display a small voltage hysteresis of ~38 mV at 1 mA cm À2 over 2600 h and an ultra-long lifespan for 3100 h (~4.3 months) even at a high-current density of 10 mA cm À2 . When assembled with a vanadium-based cathode, the full Zn-ion batteries achieve improved electrochemical performance.

“…The broadly and densely distributed pores ensure universal and uniform initial nucleation sites on the Zn surface. For some inorganic metal-based compounds, such as nanoporous CaCO 3 [ 56 ], nanoporous SiO 2 [ 56 ], kaolin [ 57 ], Zn-based montmorillonite [ 58 , 59 ], and Mg–Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) [ 60 ], they are also chemically inert and electronically insulating; therefore, the concentration field redistribution in these modified layers is mainly through their confined channel (Fig. 3 d), thereby inhibiting dendrites, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion.…”

The rapid advance of mild aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is driving the development of the energy storage system market. But the thorny issues of Zn anodes, mainly including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion, severely reduce the performance of ZIBs. To commercialize ZIBs, researchers must overcome formidable challenges. Research about mild aqueous ZIBs is still developing. Various technical and scientific obstacles to designing Zn anodes with high stripping efficiency and long cycling life have not been resolved. Moreover, the performance of Zn anodes is a complex scientific issue determined by various parameters, most of which are often ignored, failing to achieve the maximum performance of the cell. This review proposes a comprehensive overview of existing Zn anode issues and the corresponding strategies, frontiers, and development trends to deeply comprehend the essence and inner connection of degradation mechanism and performance. First, the formation mechanism of dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and their influence on the anode are analyzed. Furthermore, various strategies for constructing stable Zn anodes are summarized and discussed in detail from multiple perspectives. These strategies are mainly divided into interface modification, structural anode, alloying anode, intercalation anode, liquid electrolyte, non-liquid electrolyte, separator design, and other strategies. Finally, research directions and prospects are put forward for Zn anodes. This contribution highlights the latest developments and provides new insights into the advanced Zn anode for future research.
