A　highly　stable　interface　for　aqueous　rechargeable　Zn　batteries　is　of　importance　to　inhibit　the　growth　of　Zn　dendrites　and　suppress　the　side　reactions.　In　this　work,　we　have　developed　a　stable　honeycomb-like　ZnO　passivation　protective　layer　on　the　Zn　surface,　which　is　in　situ　generated　with　the　assistance　of　a　nonionic　surfactant　additive　(polyethylene　glycol　tert-octylphenyl　ether,　denoted　as　PEGTE).　The　ZnO　passivation　layer　can　facilitate　the　uniform　distribution　of　the　electric　field,　guiding　the　uniform　deposition　of　Zn2+　and　inhibit　the　generation　of　dendrites.　As　a　result,　the　symmetric　cell　using　the　electrolyte　with　PEGTE　shows　an　excellent　performance　at　high　areal　capacity,　reflected　by　stable　cycling　for　over　2400　h　at　5　mAh/cm2　and　1300　h　at　10　mAh/cm2.　The　full　cell　paired　with　V2O5　demonstrates　a　long　lifespan　for　more　than　600　cycles　at　a　low　negative/positive　capacity　ratio.
