“…In this regard, metallic zinc (Zn) has been considered to be one of the alternatives due to its low potential (−0.762 V vs standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)), high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g −1 ), large abundance, environmental‐friendly properties, and inherent safety 7–9. Up to now, various Zn‐based batteries have been widely investigated, such as Zn–air battery,10–13 Zn–NiOOH battery,14–16 Zn–V 2 O 5 battery,17–19 Zn–MnO 2 battery,20–23 etc. However, besides the dendrite growth in the electrolyte, the Zn anode corrosion and the formation of ZnO densification on the Zn electrode surface have become the challenges for the development of rechargeable Zn‐based batteries, which would result in poor reversibility, low Coulombic efficiency (CE), and the decayed capacity 24.…”
