Abstract

Rechargeable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) featuring the merits of low cost, eco‐friendliness, and enhanced safety have attracted extensive interests and considered as the most promising energy storage system. However, much efforts are devoted to the exploration of cathode materials and their storage mechanisms in this system, and inadequate attentions are received in regard to anode side especially in neutral or mild acidic electrolyte. Therefore, in this review, the fundamental understanding of existing issues including dendrite formation, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution are mainly revealed, as well as their interaction in neutral or mild acidic medium. In addition, the currently existing solution…
