a Schematic illustration of the interfacial behavior of shielding, inert and affinitive additives at the Zn interface under an applied electric field. b Root mean square error (RMSE) matrix obtained from leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) analysis of ridge regression-based feature-pair prediction. Each cell shows the prediction error between two descriptors. Values greater than 2.3 are displayed in white to prevent extreme entries from dominating the color scale. Full descriptor names are listed in Table S2. c Plot of donor number (DN) versus dipole moment (μ) for 12 additives, delineating EWSE (I), EWIE (II) and ERAE (III) regions. The area of each circle represents the Zn | |Zn symmetric cell lifespan at 60% depth of discharge (DOD), and stars indicate potential candidates. All electrochemical data were obtained at 25 °C. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
