Here, we present a regulation strategy involving heteroatom doping and structural construction to adjust zincophilic sites and electric field distribution, achieving a robust and dendrite-free Zn host anode. Theoretical calculations and experimental results confirm that sulfur atoms can provide moderate zincophilicity, while graphene-like nanosheets can even the electric field distribution, imparting the sulfur-doped graphene-like network (S-GP) with a longer lifespan (exceeding 500 h) and acceptable coulombic efficiency. Importantly, the S-GP host is used as the substrate for flexible Zn-ion batteries, exhibiting impressive electrochemical performance and great mechanical flexibility, indicating a broad application prospect in portable and wearable electronic devices.
