The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) strongly determines the stability and reversibility of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). In traditional electrolytes, nonuniform SEI layer induced by severe parasitic reactions, such as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), will exacerbate side reactions on Zn anodes, thus leading to low zinc utilization ratios (ZURs).
