Abstract Water corrosion and dendrite growth seriously break the zinc plating/stripping process at electrolyte/anode interface, causing instability of metal anode aqueous batteries. Herein, a self‐consistent hydrophobic interface orderly channels are assembled by three quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants, which can block water erosion. Of particular interest, experimental results combined with theoretical calculation (DFT) reveals that groups in cations determinaning factor kinetic ion...
