Abstract

Abstract Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) are emerging as promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage systems due to their numerous advantages. However, their practical application is hindered by zinc electrode corrosion and side reactions in neutral and weakly acidic electrolytes. This study leverages the facile reductive decomposition of 2,5‐pyrroledione (Py) to in situ construct an organic/inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the Zn anode. Characterization reveals that the Py‐interface comprises self‐assembled ZnCO 3 , Zn 4 SO 4 (OH) 6 ·H 2 O, ZnS, and polyacrylamide. This hybrid SEI exhibits strong mechanical properties, suppressing Zn dendrite formation, inhibiting Zn 4 SO 4…
