Herein, we engineer a PEO\/PIM\u20101 hybrid polymer (PIP) as an artificial solid\u2013electrolyte interphase (SEI) that replaces field\u2010driven interfacial ion accumulation with confined ion buffering, thereby suppressing EDL amplification and chaotic interfacial dynamics. Liquid\u2010phase atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements demonstrate the elimination of voltage\u2010dependent force amplification upon PIP modification, evidencing effective decoupling of electric\u2010field\u2010induced ion crowding at the Zn surface. In situ Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical analysis, and molecular dynamics simulations further reveal reduced interfacial water activity, regulated ion distribution, and homogeneous Zn stripping and deposition. PIP significantly enhances anode stability, enabling Zn|Zn symmetric cells to cycle for 2700\u00a0h and delivering a Coulombic efficiency of 98.6% in Zn|Ti cells.
