Side reactions on zinc metal (Zn) anodes are formidable issues that cause limited battery life of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Here, a facile and controllable layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique is deployed to construct an ion-conductive and mechanically robust electrolyte/anode inte...
