The electrochemical instability of electrode/electrolyte interface and aqueous electrolyte collectively brings technical barriers, such as side reactions like hydrogen evolution and corrosion, as well as zinc dendrites, which hinder the practical application of aqueous zinc batteries. Here, an elect...
