Abstract
Abstract The cost‐effectiveness and environmental benefits of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted considerable attention. However, practical applications are hindered by side processes including dendritic growth and hydrogen evolution corrosion. Herein, gallium ions (Ga 3+ ) have been chosen as a multifunctional electrolyte additive to improve the reversibility of zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs). Remarkably, Ga 3+ ions adhere to the anode surface, establishing a dynamic electrostatic shielding layer that modulates Zn 2+ deposition and prevents side reactions. Typically, Ga 3+ ions preferentially adsorb onto the (002) and (110) planes of Zn, facilitating preferential deposition on the (100) plane,…
