Close‐Loop Cathode Chemistry Enables Self‐Rejuvenating Aqueous Zn–Te Batteries Compromised by Non‐Equilibrium Redox Pathways

is found to promote an anode solid electrolyte interphase via detaching ethyl. The functional layer efficaciously prevented anode passivation caused by tellurium-shuttling and facilitated efficient zinc-ion transfer to achieve dendrite-free zinc anode. This loop chemistry not only extends the lifespan of batteries but also enables the reuse of materials, potentially reducing the overall cost of battery production and resource consumption.
