Despite the widespread adoption of Zn anodes for aqueous energy storage, the presence of an inherent passivation layer and the polycrystalline interface of commercial Zn foil consistently lead to non-uniform electrodeposition, undermining stability and practicality. Herein, the study introduces a chemically polished Zn metal anode (CP-Zn) fabricated via a simple immersion method. This "chemically polishing" process can effectively remove the interfacial passivation layer (de-passivation), providing ample active sites for plating/stripping and ensuring the uniformly distributed electric field and Zn2+ ion flux. Additionally, selective etching during chemical polishing exposes more (002) crystal planes, promoting homogeneous and smooth zinc deposition while suppressing related side reactions. Demonstrated by CP-Zn anode, the symmetric cell exhibits stable cycling over 4600 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 240 h at 50% depth of discharge (DOD), with a CP-Zn||VO2 full cell maintaining ≈75.3% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 3 A g-1. This chemically polishing strategy presents a promising avenue for advancing the commercialization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries
