Abstract
The practical applications of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have been restricted by the fast growth of Zn dendrites and severe side reactions at the Zn/electrolyte interface. Herein, a multifunctional additive, L-leucine (Leu), is incorporated into a mild acidic electrolyte to stabilize the Zn anode. The Leu molecule, featuring both carboxyl and amino groups, exhibits strong interactions with Zn2+, which can reshape the solvation structure of Zn2+ and facilitate the uniform electrodeposition of Zn. Simultaneously, the Leu molecule exhibits preferential adsorption onto the Zn surface, effectively isolating it from direct contact with water, thus suppressing unwanted side reactions. Consequently, the Zn∥Cu asymmetric cell exhibits a high and stable coulombic efficiency of 99.5% at a current density of 5 mA cm-2 for 1100 h. Importantly, the capacity retention of the Zn∥NH4V4O10 full cell based on the Leu electrolyte reaches 80% after 1200 cycles at a current density of 2 A g-1. The successful application of the low-cost Leu effectively enhances the cycling stability of the AZIBs and accelerates their applications.

Abstract
The rechargeable aqueous ammonium ion battery shows great potential in low-cost energy storage system because of its long life and environmental friendliness. However, most inorganic host materials used in ammonium ion batteries are still limited by slow diffusion kinetics. Herein, it is identified that a 2D heteroligand-based copper-organic framework featuring numerous ammonium ion adsorption site in the π-conjugated periodic skeleton supplies multiple accessible redox-active sites for high-performance ammonium storage. Benefitting from the effective regulation of electron delocalization by heteroligand and the inherent hydrogen bond cage mechanism between ammonium ions, the resultant full battery delivers a large specific energy density of 211.84 Wh kg-1, and it can be stably operated for 12000 cycles at 5 A g-1 for over 80 days. This explanatory understanding provides a new idea for the rational design of high-performance MOF-based ammonium ion battery cathode materials for efficient energy storage and conversion in the future.

Abstract
Constructing artificial solid electrolyte interface on the Zn anode surface is recognized as an appealing method to inhibit zinc dendrites and side reactions, whereas the current techniques are complex and time-consuming. Here, a robust and zincophilic zinc tungstate (ZnWO4) layer has been in situ constructed on the Zn anode surface (denoted as ZWO@Zn) by an ultrafast chemical solution reaction. Comprehensive characterizations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the ZWO layer can effectively modulate the interfacial electric field distribution and promote the Zn2+ uniform diffusion, thus facilitating the uniform Zn2+ nucleation and suppressing zinc dendrites. Besides, ZWO layer can prevent direct contact between the Zn/water and increase the hydrogen evolution reaction overpotential to eliminate side reactions. Consequently, the in situ constructed ZWO layer facilitates remarkable reversibility in the ZWO@Zn||Ti battery, achieving an impressive Coulombic efficiency of 99.36 % under 1.0 mA cm-2, unprecedented cycling lifespan exceeding 1800 h under 1.0 mA cm-2 in ZWO@Zn||ZWO@Zn battery, and a steady and reliable operation of the overall ZWO@Zn||VS2 battery. The work provides a simple, low cost, and ultrafast pathway to crafting protective layers for driving advancements in aqueous zinc-metal batteries.

Abstract
While aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) are widely considered as a promising energy storage system due to their merits of low cost, high specific capacity, and safety, the practical implementation has been hindered by the Zn dendrite growth and undesirable parasitic reactions. To address these issues, a unique hydrophobic-ion-conducting cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-intercalated Mg-Al-layered double-hydroxide protective layer was constructed on the Zn anode (OMALDH-Zn) to modulate the nucleation behavior and desolvation process. The hydrophobic cetyl group long chain can inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction and Zn corrosion by repelling water molecules from the anode surface and reducing the desolvation activation energy. Meanwhile, the Mg-Al LDH with abundant zincophilic active sites can modulate the Zn2+ ion flux, enabling the dendrite-free Zn deposition. Benefiting from this interfacial synergy, a long cycle life (>2300 h) with low and stable overpotential (<18 mV at 1 mA cm-2) and excellent Coulombic efficiency (99.4%) for symmetrical and asymmetrical batteries were achieved. More impressively, excellent rate performance and long cyclic stability have been realized by OMALDH-Zn//MnO2 batteries in both coin-type and pouch-type devices. This low-cost, simple, and high-efficiency coordinated modulation method provides a reliable strategy for the practical application of AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous solvents in Zn metal batteries inevitably induces hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) due to fluctuating pH levels in electrolytes, leading to severe side reactions and dendrite growth. To address these challenges, buffering agents have been recently proposed as a solution to maintain constant electrolyte pH values upon cycling. Nonetheless, the critical role of buffering additives' premier pH in determining interface stability is largely overlooked. Herein, two types of buffering agents, single amphoteric and conjugate acid-base pairs, are employed to correlate their initial pHs with the interface stability. Based on the observations, the lifetime of Zn metal anodes initially increases and then decreases as the initial pH level goes up from 2.0 to 5.0, with an optimal lifetime at pH 3.3 for both buffering agent categories. This phenomenon lies in ample H+ in low pH and rich OH- in high pH, leading to either severe HER or by-products passivation layer. The optimized pH allows cells to deliver a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.61% over 1500 cycles at a large current density of 5 mA cm-2, which is significantly superior to 345 cycles achieved in the pristine electrolyte. Furthermore, this enhanced interface enables stable Zn/activated carbon full batteries over 15 000 cycles.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries are a viable candidate for next-generation energy storage systems, but suffer from poor cycling efficiency of the Zn anode. Emerging approaches aim to regulate zinc plating behavior to suppress uncontrolled dendrites, while the stripping process is seldom considered. Herein, an oriented metal stripping strategy is demonstrated to stabilize the Zn anode by removing high-index facets for exposing the (002) plane through the addition of anionic additive sodium citrate (SC). Consequently, high-index facets that coordinate strongly with SC are preferentially stripped out due to a reduced stripping barrier, rendering stable (002) facet preponderant in epitaxial plating. After repeat stripping/plating, the ultra-high proportion of 93% for (002) and large-size grains of ≈100 µm (six times larger than before) can be obtained. Zn anode shows continuous 25 000 cycles with low overpotential at 100 mA cm-2 in symmetric cells and more than 70 h of stable operation even at an ultra-high depth of discharge of 92.3%. Moreover, an extremely long lifespan of 12 000 cycles at 10 A g-1 with a high capacity retention of 89% is achieved by the assembled Zn//I2 battery. This work provides a distinctive approach to improving the stripping process to design highly efficient zinc anodes for promising aqueous zinc metal batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are attracting increasing research interest due to their intrinsic safety, low cost, and scalability. However, the issues including hydrogen evolution, interface corrosion, and zinc dendrites at anodes have seriously limited the development of aqueous zinc ion batteries. Here, N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBA) additives with -CONH- groups are introduced to form hydrogen bonds with water and suppress H2O activity, inhibiting the occurrence of hydrogen evolution and corrosion reactions at the interface. In situ optical microscopy demonstrates that the MBA additive promotes the uniform deposition of Zn2+ and then suppresses the dendrite growth on the zinc anode. Therefore, Zn//Ti asymmetric batteries demonstrate a high plating/stripping efficiency of 99.5%, while Zn//Zn symmetric batteries display an excellent cycle stability for more than 1000 h. The Zn//MnO2 full cells exhibit remarkable cycling stability for 700 cycles in aqueous electrolytes with MBA additives. The additive engineering via MBA achieved the dendrite-free Zn anodes and stable full batteries, which is favorable for advanced AZIBs in practical applications.

Abstract
The practical application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is greatly challenged by rampant dendrites and pestilent side reactions resulting from an unstable Zn-electrolyte interphase. Herein, we report the construction of a reliable superstructured solid electrolyte interphase for stable Zn anodes by using mesoporous polydopamine (2D-mPDA) platelets as building blocks. The interphase shows a biomimetic nacre's "brick-and-mortar" structure and artificial transmembrane channels of hexagonally ordered mesopores in the plane, overcoming the mechanical robustness and ionic conductivity trade-off. Experimental results and simulations reveal that the -OH and -NH groups on the surface of artificial ion channels can promote rapid desolvation kinetics and serve as an ion sieve to homogenize the Zn2+ flux, thus inhibiting side reactions and ensuring uniform Zn deposition without dendrites. The 2D-mPDA@Zn electrode achieves an ultralow nucleation potential of 35 mV and maintains a Coulombic efficiency of 99.8% over 1500 cycles at 5 mA cm-2. Moreover, the symmetric battery exhibits a prolonged lifespan of over 580 h at a high current density of 20 mA cm-2. This biomimetic superstructured interphase also demonstrates the high feasibility in Zn//VO2 full cells and paves a new route for rechargeable aqueous metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Despite many additives have been reported for aqueous zinc ion batteries, steric-hindrance effect of additives and its correlation with Zn2+ solvation structure have been rarely reported. Herein, large-sized sucrose biomolecule is selected as a paradigm additive, and steric-hindrance electrolytes (STEs) are developed to investigate the steric-hindrance effect for solvation structure regulation. Sucrose molecules do not participate in Zn2+ solvation shell, but significantly homogenize the distribution of solvated Zn2+ and enlarge Zn2+ solvation shell with weakened Zn2+-H2O interaction due to the steric-hindrance effect. More importantly, STEs afford the water-shielding electric double layer and in situ construct the organic and inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interface, which effectively boost Zn anode reversibility. Remarkably, Zn//NVO battery presents high capacity of 3.9 mAh ⋅ cm-2 with long cycling stability for over 650 cycles at lean electrolyte of 4.5 μL ⋅ mg-1 and low N/P ratio of 1.5, and the stable operation at wide temperature (-20 °C~+40 °C).

Abstract
Interfacial active water molecule-induced parasitic reactions and stochastic Zn2+ transport-caused dendrite issue significantly impede the implementation of aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Herein, three positively charged amino acids, namely arginine, histidine, and lysine, were utilized as adsorption-type electrolyte additives to enhance the stability and reversibility of Zn anodes. Combined theoretical and experimental analyses verified that these amino acid cations can synergistically modulate the interfacial microenvironment and promote orientational Zn deposition. The adsorbed amino acid cations reconfigured the interfacial electric double layer structure, forming SO42-- and H2O-poor interfaces, thereby retarding hydrogen evolution and corrosion side reactions. Simultaneously, the preferential adsorption of the amino acid cations at specific facets induced crystallographic orientational Zn deposition along unterminated facets. Three deposition architectures, namely planar texture, subvertical alignment, and vertical erection, were obtained, all effectively inhibiting dendrite formation. Consequently, symmetric cells with the three amino acid cations exhibited high stripping/plating reversibility of over 2000 cycles at 5 mA cm-2. Moreover, MnO2-based full cells exhibited markedly improved stabilities compared with their additive-free counterparts.

Abstract
Wearable and implantable electronics are standing at the frontiers of science and technology, driven by the increasing demands from modernized lifestyles. Zinc-based batteries (ZBs) are regarded as ideal energy suppliers for these biocompatible electronics, but the corresponding biocompatibility validation is still in the initial stage. Meanwhile, complicated working conditions and some extreme electrolyte environments raise strict challenges, leaving less choices for safe ZBs. Toward higher operating stability and biocompatibility, this work proposes a hydrogel electrolyte featuring the moisture maintaining ability and a robust interface, which could further provide a milder environment for Zn-MnO2 batteries and Zn-air batteries. The cytotoxicity and tissue injury of batteries are evaluated with human cell lines and battery implantations on the animal models, which demonstrate the high biocompatibility of ZBs, while preliminary wearable devices implementation further verifies their operating stability. This work may provide a pathway for developing and validating biocompatible ZBs, contributing to their future practical employment in relevant fields.

Abstract
The optimization of crystalline orientation of a Zn metal substrate to expose more Zn(0002) planes has been recognized as an effective strategy in pursuit of highly reversible Zn metal anodes. However, the lattice mismatch between substrate and overgrowth crystals has hampered the epitaxial sustainability of Zn metal. Herein, we discover that the presence of crystal grains deviating from [0001] orientation within a Zn(0002) metal anode leads to the failure of epitaxial mechanism. The electrodeposited [0001]-uniaxial oriented Zn metal anodes with a single (0002) texture fundamentally eliminate the lattice mismatch and achieve ultra-sustainable homoepitaxial growth. Using high-angle angular dark-filed scanning transmission electron microscopy, we elucidate the homoepitaxial growth of the deposited Zn following the "~ABABAB~" arrangement on the Zn(0002) metal from an atomic-level perspective. Such consistently epitaxial behavior of Zn metal retards dendrite formation and enables improved cycling, even in Zn||NH4V4O10 pouch cells, with a high capacity of 220 mAh g-1 for over 450 cycles. The insights gained from this work on the [0001]-oriented Zn metal anode and its persistently homoepitaxial mechanism pave the way for other metal electrodes with high reversibility.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted increasing attention in next-generation energy storage systems due to their high safety and economic. Unfortunately, the side reactions, dendrites and hydrogen evolution effects at the zinc anode interface in aqueous electrolytes seriously hinder the application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Here, we report a critical solvation strategy to achieve reversible zinc electrochemistry by introducing a small polar molecule acetonitrile to form a "catcher" to arrest active molecules (bound water molecules). The stable solvation structure of [Zn(H2O)6]2+ is capable of maintaining and completely inhibiting free water molecules. When [Zn(H2O)6]2+ is partially desolvated in the Helmholtz outer layer, the separated active molecules will be arrested by the "catcher" formed by the strong hydrogen bond N-H bond, ensuring the stable desolvation of Zn2+. The Zn||Zn symmetric battery can stably cycle for 2250 h at 1 mAh cm-2, Zn||V6O13 full battery achieved a capacity retention rate of 99.2% after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1. This paper proposes a novel critical solvation strategy that paves the route for the construction of high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-based batteries have emerged as compelling candidates for grid-scale energy storage, owing to their intrinsic safety, remarkable theoretical energy density and cost-effectiveness. Nonetheless, the dendrite formation, side reactions, and corrosion on anode have overshadowed their practical applications. Herein, we present an in situ grown carbon network reinforcing Zn matrix anode prepared by powder metallurgy. This carbon network provides an uninterrupted internal electron transport pathway and optimize the surface electric field distribution, thereby enabling highly reversible Zn deposition. Consequently, symmetrical cells demonstrate impressive stability, running for over 880 h with a low voltage hysteresis (≈32 mV). Furthermore, this Zn matrix composite anode exhibits enhanced performance in both the aqueous Zn-ion and the Zn-air batteries. Notably, Zn//MnO2 cells display superior rate capabilities, while Zn-air batteries deliver high power density and impressive Zn utilization rate (84.9 %). This work provides a new idea of powder metallurgy method for modified Zn anodes, showcasing potential for large-scale production.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) face challenges in achieving high energy density compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The lower operating voltage and excessive Zn metal as anode pose constraints on the overall energy storage capacity of these batteries. An effective approach is to reduce the thickness of the Zn metal anode and control its mass appropriately. However, under the condition of using a thin Zn anode, the performance of AZIBs is often unsatisfactory. Through experiments and computational simulations, the electrode structural change and the formation of dead Zn as the primary reasons for the failure of batteries under a high Zn utilization rate are identified. Based on this understanding, a universal synergistic strategy that combines Cu foil current collectors and electrolyte additives to maintain the structural and thermodynamic stability of the Zn anode under a high Zn utilization rate (ZUR) is proposed. Specifically, the Cu current collectors can ensure that the Zn anode structure remains intact based on the spontaneous filling effect, while the additives can suppress parasitic side reactions at the interface. Ultimately, the symmetric cell demonstrates a cycling duration of 900 h at a 70% ZU, confirming the effectiveness of this strategy.

Abstract
The undesirable dendrite growth induced by non-planar zinc (Zn) deposition and low Coulombic efficiency resulting from severe side reactions have been long-standing challenges for metallic Zn anodes and substantially impede the practical application of rechargeable aqueous Zn metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, we present a strategy for achieving a high-rate and long-cycle-life Zn metal anode by patterning Zn foil surfaces and endowing a Zn-Indium (Zn-In) interface in the microchannels. The accumulation of electrons in the microchannel and the zincophilicity of the Zn-In interface promote preferential heteroepitaxial Zn deposition in the microchannel region and enhance the tolerance of the electrode at high current densities. Meanwhile, electron aggregation accelerates the dissolution of non-(002) plane Zn atoms on the array surface, thereby directing the subsequent homoepitaxial Zn deposition on the array surface. Consequently, the planar dendrite-free Zn deposition and long-term cycling stability are achieved (5,050 h at 10.0 mA cm-2 and 27,000 cycles at 20.0 mA cm-2). Furthermore, a Zn/I2 full cell assembled by pairing with such an anode can maintain good stability for 3,500 cycles at 5.0 C, demonstrating the application potential of the as-prepared ZnIn anode for high-performance aqueous ZMBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have demonstrated great potential for large-scale energy storage. However, their practical applications have been restricted by fast Zn dendrite growth and severe side reactions at the Zn/electrolyte interface. Herein, sodium gluconate is incorporated into a mild acidic electrolyte as a multifunctional additive to stabilize the Zn anode. Experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the SG additive can induce planar growth of Zn along its (002) direction, thereby inhibiting Zn dendrite growth. This dendrite inhibition effect is attributed to the preferential adsorption of Zn2+ on the Zn (002) plane, while the Zn (100) and (101) planes are shielded by gluconate ions. Consequently, Zn||Zn symmetric cells with the electrolyte additive exhibit significantly prolonged cycle lives of 2000 h at 1 mA cm-2, 1 mA h cm-2 and 900 h at 5 mA cm-2, 2.5 mA h cm-2. Futhermore, the Zn||NH4V4O10 full cell retains 95% of its initial capacity after 2000 cycles at a current density of 5 A g-1 with an average CE of nearly 100%. This work offers a cost-effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of AZIBs.

Abstract
The poor reversibility and stability of Zn metal anode (ZMA) caused by uncontrolled Zn deposition behaviors and serious side reactions severely impeded the practical application of aqueous Zn metal battery. Herein, a liquid-dynamic and self-adaptive protective layer (LSPL) was constructed on the ZMA surface for inhibiting dendrites and by-products formation. Interestingly, the outer LSPL consists of liquid perfluoropolyether (PFPE), which can dynamically adapt volume change during repeat cycling and inhibit side reactions. Moreover, it can also decrease the de-solvation energy barrier of Zn2+ by strong interaction between C-F bond and foreign Zn2+ , improving Zn2+ transport kinetics. For the LSPL inner region, in-situ formed ZnF2 through the spontaneous chemical reaction between metallic Zn and part PFPE can establish an unimpeded Zn2+ migration pathway for accelerating ion transfer, thereby restricting Zn dendrites formation. Consequently, the LSPL-modified ZMA enables reversible Zn deposition/dissolution up to 2000 h at 1 mA cm-2 and high coulombic efficiency of 99.8% at 4 mA cm-2 . Meanwhile, LSPL@Zn||NH4 V4 O10 full cells deliver an ultralong cycling lifespan of 100 00 cycles with 0.0056% per cycle decay rate at 10 A g-1 . This self-adaptive layer provides a new strategy to improve the interface stability for next-generation aqueous Zn battery.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries are the ideal candidate for large-scale energy storage systems owing to their high safety and low cost. However, the uncontrolled deposition and parasitic reaction of Zn metal anode hinder their commercial application. Here, the 2D metal-organic-framework (MOF) nanoflakes covered on the surface of Zn are proposed to enable dendrite-free for long lifespan Zn metal batteries. The MOF can facilitate the desolvation process to accelerate reaction kinetic due to its special channel structure. The abundant zincopilicity sites of MOF can realize the homogenous Zn2+ deposition. Consequently, their synergetic effect makes the MOF protected Zn anode good electrochemical performance with a long cycle life of 1400 h at 1 mA cm-2 and a high depth of discharge of 30 mAh cm-2 (DOD ≈ 54%) continued for over 700 h. This work provides a novel strategy for high-performance rechargeable Zn-ion batteries.

Abstract
Zinc powder (Zn-P) anodes have significant advantages in terms of universality and machinability compared with Zn foil anodes. However, their rough surface, which has a high surface area, intensifies the uncontrollable growth of Zn dendrites and parasitic side reactions. In this study, an anti-corrosive Zn-P-based anode with a functional layer formed from a MXene and Cu-THBQ (MXene/Cu-THBQ) heterostructure is successfully fabricated via microfluidic-assisted 3D printing. The unusual anti-corrosive and strong adsorption of Zn ions using the MXene/Cu-THBQ functional layer can effectively homogenize the Zn ion flux and inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during the repeated process of Zn plating/stripping, thus achieving stable Zn cycling. Consequently, a symmetric cell based on Zn-P with the MXene/Cu-THBQ anode exhibits a highly reversible cycling of 1800 h at 2 mA cm-2 /1 mAh cm-2 . Furthermore, a Zn-organic full battery matched with a 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl organic cathode riveted on graphene delivers a high reversible capacity and maintains a long cycle life.

Abstract
The cycling stability of a thin zinc anode under high zinc utilization has a critical impact on the overall energy density and practical lifetime of zinc ion batteries. In this study, an ion sieve protection layer (ZnSnF@Zn) was constructed in situ on the surface of a zinc anode by chemical replacement. The ion sieve facilitated the transport and desolvation of zinc ions at the anode/electrolyte interface, reduced the zinc deposition overpotential, and inhibited side reactions. Under a 50% zinc utilization, the symmetrical battery with this protection layer maintained stable cycling for 250 h at 30 mA cm-2. Matched with high-load self-supported vanadium-based cathodes (18-20 mg cm-2), the coin battery with 50% zinc utilization possessed an energy density retention of 94.3% after 1000 cycles at 20 mA cm-2. Furthermore, the assembled pouch battery delivered a whole energy density of 61.3 Wh kg-1, surpassing the highest mass energy density among reported mild zinc batteries, and retained 76.7% of the energy density and 85.3% (0.53 Ah) of the capacity after 300 cycles.

Abstract
Understanding the crystallization occurring at the inner interfaces during electrochemical deposition is crucial for achieving a high reversibility in zinc anodes. However, design rules for crystallization kinetics still lack predictive power, particularly at the atomic scale, posing a significant challenge. Herein, we propose a crystal facet terminating agent, LaCl3, which modulates the preferential crystallization orientation of Zn by regulating its growth kinetics through the synergistic adsorption of dual ions. Interface molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and crucial experimental parameters reveal that the strong (002) facet texture of Zn deposits primarily depends on the adsorption of strong inhibitors. Specifically, the high adsorption free energy of Cl- on the Zn (002) facet and the concomitant aggregation of La3+ reduces the growth rate of the Zn (002) facet, thereby favoring its preservation as the final crystal facet. Consequently, this terminating agent enables the Zn anodes to deliver a high cumulative capacity of 12 Ah cm-2 at 40 mA cm-2, 20 mAh cm-2. The Zn||MnO2 full cell, when coupled with a high-mass-loading cathode and limited Zn supply, can maintain a practical areal capacity of 3.39 mAh cm-2. Furthermore, rigorous testing conditions and the successful scaling up to a 0.34 Ah pouch cell further confirm its promising prospects for practical applications.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries are gaining popularity due to their high energy density and environmental friendliness. However, random deposition of zinc ions on the anode and sluggish migration of zinc ions on the interface would lead to the growth of zinc dendrites and poor cycling performance. To address these challenges, we developed a fluorinated solid-state-electrolyte interface layer composed of Ca5 (PO4 )3 F/Zn3 (PO4 )2 via an in situ ion exchange strategy to guide zinc-ion oriented deposition and fast zinc ion migration on the anode during cycling. The introduction of Ca5 (PO4 )3 F (FAP) can increase the nucleation sites of zinc ions and guide the oriented deposition of zinc ions along the (002) crystal plane, while the in situ formation of Zn3 (PO4 )2 during cycling can accelerate the migration of zinc ions. Benefited from our design, the assembled Zn//V2 O5 ⋅ H2 O batteries based on FAP-protected Zn anode (FAP-Zn) achieve a higher capacity retention of 84 % (220 mAh g-1 ) than that of bare-Zn based batteries, which have a capacity retention of 23 % (97 mAh g-1 ) at 3.0 A g-1 after 800 cycles. This work provides a new solution for the rational design and development of the solid-state electrolyte interface layer to achieve high-performance zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage due to the excellent safety, environmental friendliness, natural abundance, high theoretical specific capacity, and low redox potential of zinc (Zn) metal. However, several issues such as dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and passivation of Zn metal anodes cause irreversible loss of the active materials. To solve these issues, researchers often use large amounts of excess Zn to ensure a continuous supply of active materials for Zn anodes. This leads to the ultralow utilization of Zn anodes and squanders the high energy density of AZMBs. Herein, the design strategies for AZMBs with high Zn utilization are discussed in depth, from utilizing thinner Zn foils to constructing anode-free structures with theoretical Zn utilization of 100%, which provides comprehensive guidelines for further research. Representative methods for calculating the depth of discharge of Zn anodes with different structures are first summarized. The reasonable modification strategies of Zn foil anodes, current collectors with pre-deposited Zn, and anode-free aqueous Zn metal batteries (AF-AZMBs) to improve Zn utilization are then detailed. In particular, the working mechanism of AF-AZMBs is systematically introduced. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for constructing high-utilization Zn anodes are presented.

The zincophilic PA-ZnAl layer can manipulate Zn2+ flux and promote rapid desolvation kinetics, ensuring the uniform Zn deposition with dendrite-free morphology. Moreover, the robust PA-ZnAl protective layer can effectively inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction and formation of byproducts, further contributing to the reversible Zn plating/stripping with high Coulombic efficiency. As a result, the Zn@PA-ZnAl electrode shows a lower Zn nucleation overpotential and higher Zn2+ transference number compared with bare Zn. The Zn@PA-ZnAl symmetric cell exhibits a prolonged lifespan of 650 h tested at 5 mA cm-2 and 5 mAh cm-2 . Furthermore, the assembled Zn battery full cell based on this Zn@PA-ZnAl anode also delivers decent cycling stability even under harsh conditions.

Abstract
Biocompatible devices are widely employed in modernized lives and medical fields in the forms of wearable and implantable devices, raising higher requirements on the battery biocompatibility, high safety, low cost, and excellent electrochemical performance, which become the evaluation criteria toward developing feasible biocompatible batteries. Herein, through conducting the battery implantation tests and leakage scene simulations on New Zealand rabbits, zinc sulfate electrolyte is proved to exhibit higher biosecurity and turns out to be one of the ideal zinc salts for biocompatible zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Furthermore, in order to mitigate the notorious dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution in mildly acidic electrolyte as well as improve their operating stability, Sn hetero nucleus is introduced to stabilize the zinc anode, which not only facilitates the planar zinc deposition, but also contributes to higher hydrogen evolution overpotential. Finally, a long lifetime of 1500 h for the symmetrical cell, the specific capacity of 150 mAh g-1 under 0.5 A g-1 for the Zn-MnO2 battery and 212 mAh g-1 under 5 A g-1 for the Zn-NH4V4O10 battery are obtained. This work may provide unique perspectives on biocompatible ZIBs toward the biosecurity of their cell components.

Abstract
Fast and uniform ion transport within the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is considered a crucial factor for ensuring the long-term stability of metal electrodes. In this study, we present the fabrication of ultrathin artificial interphases consisting of a zinc phosphate nanofilm with pure amorphous characteristics and a surfactant overlayer. The thickness of the interphases can be precisely controlled within the range of a few tens of nanometers. We explore the impact of artificial SEI structure, including thickness and crystallinity, on its protective capabilities. The pure amorphous phosphate layer with optimized nanoscale thickness is found to provide an abundance of short and isotropic ion migration pathways and a low diffusion energy barrier. These features facilitate rapid and homogeneous Zn2+ transportation, resulting in compact and planar zinc deposition. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic alkyl moieties of the overlayer prevent disassociation of water at the interface. As a result, this nanofilm endures ultralong cycling stability with a low overpotential and enables high Zn plating/stripping reversibility. The Zn||MnO2 full cell shows a stable cycle life for 700 cycles under practical conditions of lean electrolyte, high areal capacity cathode, and limited Zn excess. These findings provide insights into the design and optimization of SEI layers for protection of metal anodes.

Abstract
Metallic zinc (Zn) is considered as one of the most attractive anode materials for the post-lithium metal battery systems owing to the high theoretical capacity, low cost, and intrinsic safety. However, the Zn dendrites and parasitic side reaction impede its application. Herein, we propose a new principle of regulating p-band center of metal oxide protective coating to balance Zn adsorption energy and migration energy barrier for effective Zn deposition and stripping. Experimental results and theoretical calculations indicate that benefiting from the uniform zincophilic nucleation sites and fast Zn transport on indium tin oxide (ITO), highly stable and reversible Zn anode can be achieved. As a result, the I-Zn symmetrical cell achieves highly reversible Zn deposition/stripping with an extremely low overpotential of 9 mV and a superior lifespan over 4000 h. The Cu/I-Zn asymmetrical cell exhibits a long lifetime of over 4000 cycles with high average coulombic efficiency of 99.9 %. Furthermore, the assembled I-Zn/AC full cell exhibits an excellent lifetime for 70000 cycles with nearly 100 % capacity retention. This work provides a general strategy and new insight for the construction of efficient Zn anode protection layer.

Abstract
Although additives are widely used in aqueous electrolytes to inhibit the formation of dendrites and hydrogen evolution reactions on Zn anodes, there is a lack of rational design principles and systematic mechanistic studies on how to select a suitable additive to regulate reversible Zn plating/stripping chemistry. Here, using saccharides as the representatives, we reveal that the electrostatic polarity of non-sacrificial additives is a critical descriptor for their ability to stabilize Zn anodes. Non-sacrificial additives are found to continuously modulate the solvation structure of Zn ions and form a molecular adsorption layer (MAL) for uniform Zn deposition, avoiding the thick solid electrolyte interphase layer due to the decomposition of sacrificial additives. A high electrostatic polarity renders sucrose the best hydrated Zn2+ desolvation ability and facilitates the MAL formation, resulting in the best cycling stability with a long-term reversible plating/stripping cycle life of thousands of hours. This study provides theoretical guidance for the screening of optimal additives for high-performance ZIBs.

Abstract
Bi2Se3 is a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs), but its limited capacity and poor cycling stability deter its further use in the development of AZIBs. To solve this issue, Bi2Se3/NCD composites have been synthesized via a simple two-step solvothermal method. The introduction of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) provides more active sites and makes the composite surface rich in functional groups, which facilitates contact with aqueous electrolytes. The results showed that Bi2Se3/NCDs improved the zinc storage properties of Bi2Se3 as a cathode material. The discharge specific capacity is 318 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. The cycling performance of Bi2Se3/NCDs was also relatively excellent compared to that of Bi2Se3. This work offers a productive and feasible strategy for metal chalcogenides (MCs) as cathode materials for AZIBs to improve the zinc storage capacity.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc (Zn) ion batteries are attractive for next generation batteries with high safety, yet their applications are still hindered by the uncontrollable dendrite formation and side reactions on Zn anode. Here, a polyzwitterion protective layer (PZIL) was engineered by polymerizing 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) in carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which renders the following merits: the choline groups of MPC can preferentially adsorb onto Zn metal to avoid side reactions; the charged phosphate groups chelate with Zn2+ to regulate the solvation structure, further improving side reaction inhibition; the Hofmeister effect between ZnSO4 and CMCS can enhance the interfacial contact during electrochemical characterization. Consequently, the symmetrical Zn battery with PZIL can keep stable for more than 1000 hours under the ultra-high current density of 40 mA cm-2 . The PZIL confers the Zn/MnO2 full battery and Zn/active carbon (AC) capacitor with stable cycling performance under high current density.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries are limited in practical applications due to their short lifespans. Herein, a LaF3-coated Zn anode (LF@Zn) is investigated to induce the uniform Zn deposition and successfully build a separator-free quasi-solid-state zinc metal battery. The LF@Zn enables smooth and dendrite-free Zn deposition, owing to the homogeneous Zn2+ flux regulated by the LaF3-based quasi-solid-state electrolyte. It can also suppress the corrosion side reactions by modulating the [Zn(H2O)6]2+ solvation sheath. The polarization of plating and stripping is relatively modest due to the reduced diffuse energy of desolvated Zn2+ in the quasi-solid-state electrolyte. In a separator-free symmetric cell, the LF@Zn anode shows a significantly prolonged lifespan of over 1300 h at 2 mA cm-2 and a superior rate performance with only 156 mV at an ultrahigh current density of 50 mA cm-2. A LF@Zn//VO2 quasi-solid-state full cell exhibits outperforming rate capability and a long cyclic performance for up to 3000 cycles at 6.0 A g-1. A stable Zn anode is established in this work with a fluoride-based quasi-solid-state electrolyte, opening up a new avenue for protecting metal anodes.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc batteries are appealing devices for cost-effective and environmentally sustainable energy storage. However, the critical issues of uncontrolled dendrite propagation and side reactions with Zn anodes have hindered their practical applications. Inspired by the functions of the rosin flux in soldering, an abietic acid (ABA) layer is fabricated on the surface of Zn anodes (ABA@Zn). The ABA layer protects the Zn anode from corrosion and the concomitant hydrogen evolution reaction. It also facilitates fast interfacial charge transfer and horizontal growth of the deposited Zn by reducing the surface tension of the Zn anode. Consequently, promoted redox kinetics and reversibility are simultaneously achieved by the ABA@Zn. It demonstrates stable Zn plating/stripping cycling over 5100 h and a high critical current of 8.0 mA cm-2. Moreover, the assembled ABA@Zn|(NH4)2V6O16 full cell delivers outstanding long-term cycling stability with an 89% capacity retention after 3000 cycles. This work provides a straightforward yet effective solution to the key issues of aqueous zinc batteries.

Abstract
Li metal is the ultimate anode material for next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. However, the uncontrollable growth of Li dendrites and low Coulombic efficiency (CE) prevent it from practical applications in Li metal batteries (LMBs). Here, a facile and low-cost strategy is developed to decorate a Cu current collector with a self-assembled γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-APS) film. The thin polymer film with nanopores promotes the formation of cobblestone-like Li deposition and suppresses Li-dendrite formation due to its low surface energy. The protecting layer not only increases the lithiophilicity of the Cu current collector but also alleviates the ambient corrosion and galvanic corrosion in practical use. Owing to these advantages, the half cell using γ-APS-Cu collectors exhibits a high average CE value of 99.2% for 100 cycles. The symmetric cell of γ-APS-Cu@Li shows an improved lifespan of 1400 h with a small voltage hysteresis of 12 mV at 0.5 mA cm-2. The full cell assembled with LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes and γ-APS-Cu@Li anodes delivers a high capacity of 136 mAh g-1 after 600 cycles at 0.5C.

Abstract
Zn metal with high specific capacity and low redox potential is deemed to be an ideal anode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the serious dendrite problems induced by the uneven deposition of zinc shorten the service life and hinder the development of ZIBs. According to the nucleation and growth mechanism, the charge distribution at the anode interface is the critical factor affecting the deposition morphology. Herein, CF4 plasma technology is applied for the first time to in situ modification of the Zn anode, and then, the uniform nanoscale ZnF2 particles are formed. Due to the excellent ionic conductivity and poor electronic conductivity of ZnF2, the ion and electron distribution at the anode interface is orderly regulated, thus guiding uniform and reversible deposition behavior and restraining the dendrite growth. As a result, the Zn@ZnF2-5 anode exhibits low nucleation overpotential (16 mV), long cycle life (2500 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mA h cm-2), and excellent resistance to high current density (20 mA cm-2) and high discharge depth (16%). Meanwhile, the Zn@ZnF2-5|I2@AC full battery shows remarkable cycle stability (1000 cycles) with ∼10% discharge depth of the anode. The novel and practical CF4 plasma in situ modification strategy provides a new idea for the interface modification of zinc anode.
