Ether-based electrolytes are among the most important for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their low polarization voltage and notable compatibility with potassium metal. However, development is hindered by strong binding between K+ ether solvents, leading [K+–solvent] cointercalation on graphite anodes. Herein, we propose a partially weakly solvating electrolyte (PWSE) wherein local solvation environment of conventional 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)-based efficiently reconfigured diethoxy methane (DEM) cosolvent. For PWSE in particular, DEM participates shell weakens chelation DME, facilitating desolvation suppressing behavior. Notably, structure DME-based transformed into more cation–anion–cluster-dominated structure, consequently promoting thin stable solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) generation. Benefiting from optimized SEI generation, enables electrode reversible (de)intercalation (for over 1000 cycles) K plating/stripping (the K||Cu cell an average Coulombic efficiency 98.72% 400 dendrite-free properties K||K operates 1800 h). We demonstrate that rational design provides approach tailoring toward PIBs.
