Zinc–iodine aqueous batteries (ZIABs) are highly attractive for grid‐scale energy storage due to their high theoretical capacities, environmental friendliness, and intrinsic non‐flammability. However, because of the close redox potential of Zn stripping/platting and hydrogen evolution, slight overch...
