Rechargeable Zn‐ion batteries (RZIBs) are considered to be promising energy storage systems for large‐scale applications owing to their relatively high energy densities and inherently low costs, environmental benignity, as well as safety. With increasing interest and effort being devoted to this field, RZIBs are being tremendously advanced and are very likely to be commercialized in the near future. However, some challenges remain that need to be addressed. Moreover, reported results are quite often overstated through artificial exaggeration and cannot be translated to industrial applications as they were obtained under ideal testing conditions. Therefore, in this perspective, we discuss key parameters that need to be carefully considered when translating laboratory‐developed RZIBs into commercial reality. We also present a critical mini‐review on RZIBs and devote effort to issues that are overlooked in academic research. We believe that this perspective provides new or seldom‐discussed insight for future work and bridges the gap between academia and industry.

了解可充电锌离子电池的学术研究与工业要求之间的差距

充电式锌离子电池（RZIBs）由于具有相对较高的能量密度和固有的低成本，对环境无害以及安全性，因此被认为是用于大规模应用的有前途的储能系统。随着对这一领域的兴趣和工作的不断增加，RZIB取得了巨大的进步，并且很可能在不久的将来实现商业化。但是，仍有一些挑战需要解决。此外，报告的结果通常由于人为夸大而被夸大了，并且不能转化为工业应用，因为它们是在理想的测试条件下获得的。因此，从这个角度出发，我们讨论了将实验室开发的RZIB转化为商业现实时需要仔细考虑的关键参数。我们还对RZIB进行了重要的小型审查，并致力于解决学术研究中忽略的问题。我们认为，这种观点为未来的工作提供了新的或很少讨论的见解，并弥合了学术界与行业之间的鸿沟。
