Abstract Aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have been deemed to be possible candidates for large‐scale energy storage due their ecoefficiency, substantial reserve, safety, and low cost. However, the challenges inherent in aqueous electrolytes, such as water splitting reactions, evaporation, liquid leakage, greatly hindered development storage. Fortunately, polymer electrolytes would able overcome abovementioned challenges. Moreover, flexible properties of can facilitate future application wearable electronics. Recently, increasing attention has attracted electrolyte‐based batteries. ZIBs is still early stages numerous Therefore, research effort required ZIBs. In this review, current progress developing including solid gel hybrid well interactions between electrodes comprehensively reviewed, analyzed, discussed terms synthesis, characterization, performance validation. To further ZIBs, relevant are summarized some underlying approaches these also proposed.
