Aqueous zinc ion batteries are promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage. Nonetheless, the stability of Zn anodes in aqueous electrolytes is compromised by dendritic growth and undesirable side reactions. In this article, citrulline (Cit), a biocompatible compound, is investigated as an el...
