To address these challenges, this work reports a novel modified separator (denoted as BN-rGO@GF) fabricated by coating a glass fiber GF substrate with a porous boron nitride-reduced graphene oxide (BN-rGO) composite.

However, issues such as the solvation structure of [Zn (H<sub>2</sub>O) <sub>6</sub>]<sup>2+</sup>, water-rich interfaces, and interface instability have led to hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), corrosion, and dendrite growth, hindering their application and development. In this paper, the conventional ZnSO<sub>4</sub> electrolyte was modified using 3-aminopropionitrile fumarate (3-Af) as an additive. Experimental and theoretical calculation results indicate that the carboxyl groups in 3-Af strongly interact with H<sub>2</sub>O, accelerating the desolvation process of Zn<sup>2+</sup> and reducing the occurrence of active water decomposition. Additionally, 3-Af adsorbed onto the zinc anode surface forms a stable interface layer and regulates Zn<sup>2+</sup> flux to achieve uniform deposition, thereby effectively inhibiting dendrite formation.
