Although zinc‐ion batteries are regarded as important alternatives for Li‐ion batteries, the dendrite issues and side reactions are major obstacles for their development. Here, inspired by the idea of electrolyte modification, a simple and low‐cost approach, that methanol is used as additive into Zn...
