Abstract
Zinc metal batteries have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices due to their high capacities, high safety, and cost-effectiveness. However, the implementation of Zn metal anodes (ZMAs) faces significant challenges, including uncontrollable dendrite growth, pronounced corrosion, and notable side reactions. To address these issues, extensive research efforts are underway, focusing on tailored structures, compositions, and interfaces for ZMAs, supported by multi-level engineering approaches. Various efficient solutions have been proposed and verified, including homogenizing the ion flux/electric field, enriching the nucleation site number, reducing nucleation energy barriers, and providing sufficient space for Zn deposition. This Review provides a thorough summary of recent advancements in the innovative design of ZMAs, from the viewpoints of structural and interfacial engineering strategies. Key design concepts and functional mechanisms in resolving the aforementioned issues of ZMAs are highlighted. Furthermore, the remaining issues and challenges are discussed, and future research directions are also identified.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
