Starch-based HC has garnered significant attention because of its cost-effectiveness; however, its practical applicability is limited by poor thermal stability. Herein, we propose a strategy for improving the stability of starch through self-assembly crosslinking modification, yielding high-performance HC. Starch and citric acid form a dense crosslinked structure through esterification between hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, effectively overcoming the poor thermal stability. The resulting HC exhibits a low specific surface area (SSA) and abundant closed pore structures, thereby enabling substantial sodium-ion storage. The optimized HC exhibits an improved reversible capacity of 378 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> and an initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 90.9 %. After 100 cycles at 0.5 C, it retains 98 % initial capacity.

To overcome these issues caused by poor interfacial ionic conduction and water erosion, we have developed a facile strategy to fabricate a uniform zinc borate layer at the zinc anode/electrolyte interface (ZnBO).
