Aqueous Zn‐ion battery is a promising technology for electrochemical energy storage. The formation of Zn dendrites, however, can jeopardize the cell cycle life and thus, hinders the industrial adoption of this technology. A fundamental understanding of the kinetic mechanisms is crucial for improving the Zn‐ion battery. Here, in situ and operando X‐ray microscopy methods are utilized to visualize the Zn plating and stripping behaviors under different electrochemical conditions. It is demonstrated that the substrate curvature, local morphology, electrochemical protocols, and the surface chemistry can collectively affect the Zn plating behavior. These results provide new insights for developing the next‐generation dendrite‐free and long‐span aqueous Zn‐ion battery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
