Anode-free full cells are considered an emerging architecture in battery technology, capable of achieving maximum energy densities, low manufacturing costs, and minimum environmental footprints for aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs). However, limited Zn sources and unavoidable irreversible interfacial reactions hinder the practical applications of anode-free ZMBs (AFZMBs). Herein, we comprehensively review recent progress on the materials and corresponding interfacial engineering for energy-dense and long cyclable AFZMBs. The fundamental understanding of the working principle, features, and major challenges of AFZMBs is addressed. Furthermore, various strategies for improving the performance of AFZMBs are discussed symmetrically from the aspects of electrolyte and interfacial engineering. Finally, we offer our perspectives on the future development of AFZMBs, aiming to develop energy-dense and cost-effective full batteries for emerging and practical applications.
