ABSTRACT Simultaneously achieving uniform zinc deposition and stable interfaces remains a critical challenge for aqueous zinc metal batteries. Herein, we present a synergistic electrolyte design integrating β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) as a supramolecular regulator with trimethyl phosphate (TMP) as a bulk cosolvent to enable multiscale regulation from the electrode interface to the electrolyte bulk. The β‐CD additive dynamically adsorbs on the Zn surface, guiding homogeneous Zn 2+ flux and fostering a robust solid electrolyte interphase. Concurrently, TMP reconstructs the primary solvation shell of Zn 2+ and disrupts the hydrogen‐bond network, effectively suppressing hydrogen evolution and corrosion. Spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses confirm that this cooperative mechanism optimizes both interfacial kinetics and bulk electrolyte stability. Consequently, Zn||Zn symmetric cells achieve outstanding cycling stability over 2000 h, and Zn||Cu asymmetric cells maintain a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.52% for over 1100 cycles. Full cells paired with NH 4 V 4 O 10 cathodes further demonstrate superior capacity retention and reduced self‐discharge. This work provides a novel electrolyte design paradigm through molecular co‐regulation, offering a general strategy for stabilizing metal anodes in aqueous batteries.
