Aqueous　Zn-based　rechargeable　batteries　hold　great　promise　for　large-scale　energy　storage　systems　due　to　their　high　safety,　environmental　benignity,　and　low　cost.　However,　the　active　Zn　anode　suffers　from　severe　dendrite　growth　and　hydrogen　gas　evolution,　which　have　to　be　tackled　for　practical　applications.　Here,　a　Ti-MOF　derived　nanocomposite　coating,　i.e.,　mesoporous　nitrogen-doped　carbon　frameworks　decorated　with　TiO2　nanoparticles　(named　TiO2/NC),　is　prepared　to　form　coatings　on　Zn　foil　for　improving　the　anode　performance.　Compared　to　the　bare　Zn　anode,　the　Zn@TiO2/NC　anode　exhibits　better　anti-corrosion　performance,　much　fewer　byproducts,　and　a　much　longer　cycle　life　in　either　half　or　full　cells.　The　symmetric　cell　using　Zn@TiO2/NC　shows　a　high　coulombic　efficiency　of　99.4%　and　long　cycle　life　of　1100　h　when　tested　at　5　mA　cm(-2).　When　combined　with　a　MnO2　cathode,　the　Zn@TiO2/NC　anode　exhibits　higher　and　more　stable　capacity　with　cycling.　The　role　of　TiO2/NC　in　suppressing　dendrite　growth　and　reducing　hydrogen　gas　evolution　is　discussed　in　detail.
