Zn battery family with a long research history in the human electrochemical power supply has been revived and reevaluated in recent years. However, Zn anode in rechargeable batteries still lacks mature and reliable solutions to support the satisfactory cyclability required for the current versatile applications. In this paper, novel functional electrolytes, modified electrode-electrolyte interfaces and advanced electrode structures for addressing the bottlenecks encountered in rechargeable Zn anodes are reviewed, highlighting the mechanisms and open questions in practical applications.
