 The development of rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries, RASIBs, has been hampered by the formation of dendritic deposits on the zinc anode, as well as side reactions between the zinc and electrolyte. Interfacial engineering strategies have been developed to address these issues, such as surface modification and the addition of electrolyte additives. These techniques aim to control the deposition of zinc ions, thereby reducing the growth of dendrites and preventing side reactions. This review provides an overview of the current state of research into interfacial engineering for RASIBs, with particular focus on the effects of surface modification and electrolyte additives on the performance of the zinc anode.
