Surface Engineering of Zinc Anodes toward Durable Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT The practical applications of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are hindered by Zn anode issues including dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, passivation, and corrosion. To overcome these issues, surface modification stands out as an effective approach to enhance interfacial stability while retaining the intrinsic merits of Zn anodes. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in surface modification strategies for zinc anodes, focusing on mechanistic understanding, methodo
