Aqueous Zn batteries have drawn tremendous attention for their several advantages. However, the challenges of Zn anodes such as the corrosion and ZnO densification have compromised their application in rechargeable Zn‐based batteries. In this paper, a straightforward strategy is employed to facilita...
