The zinc‐iodine flow battery (ZIFB) is very promising in large‐scale energy storage due to its high energy density. However, dendrite issues, the short cycling life, and low power density restrict its further development. In their Communication on page 11171 ff., X. Li and co‐workers successfully solved the dendrite issues by using porous membranes and improved the cycle stability by tuning electrolyte chemistry. As a result, a new generation ZIFB with super‐high cycle stability and power density was demonstrated.
