The　formation　of　dendrites　and　low　coulombic　efficiency　hinder　the　application　of　aqueous　zinc　ion　batteries　in　large　energy　storage　systems.　As　the　electrolyte　additive,　maltitol　is　adsorbed　on　the　zinc　to　regulate　the　anode　interface.　The　maltitol　inhibits　the　growth　of　zinc　dendrites　and　improves　the　cycling　stability　of　the　zinc　anode,　which　has　been　proven　by　a　series　of　electrochemical　approaches.　The　scanning　electron　microscope　and　the　in　situ　optical　microscope　have　recorded　the　smooth　deposition　of　the　zinc.　The　mechanism　of　interface　regulation　has　been　implemented　by　specific　adsorption　and　deceleration　kinetics,　verified　by　x-ray　photoelectron　spectroscopy,　Raman　spectra,　and　DFT　calculations.　The　Zn//Zn　symmetric　cells　reached　a　stable　plating/stripping　performance　over　1000　h　at　2　mA　cm(-2)　with　2　mA　h　cm(-2).　This　cheap　and　eco-friendly　additive　provides　an　alternative　for　the　application　of　aqueous　zinc　ion　batteries.　[GRAPHICS]　.
