This paper used metals (Ni,Cu,Sn,In and Ti) after smelting,forging,grinding,and polishing as substrates of Zn anode for aqueous Zn?ion batteries.In addition,the paper adopted XRD,SEM,in?situ optical microscope,and electrochemical characterization techniques to analyze hydrogen evolution rate in different substrates,Zn deposition/dissolution behaviors,galvanic corrosion,and cycling performance in different substrates.The results show that Sn and In can not only inhibit the side reactions caused by the contact between Zn and substrates，but also have excellent Zn?philic properties. However, the morphology of Zn deposition on Sn substrate surfaces is greatly affected by Sn crystal planes.In contrast,In is more suitable for the substrate of the Zn anode.
