Abstract Potassium metal batteries coupling with high‐voltage manganese hexacyanoferrate (MnHCF) cathodes are promising candidates for energy storage devices. Ethers the primary electrolyte solvent reversible potassium anodes, but their poor oxidative stability at high voltage restricts application. Taking advantage of steric hindrance, a dilute (1 m ) non‐fluorinated ether extended alkyl groups is designed to reduce solvation capability K ions, thus suppressing decomposition and tailoring interphase composition on both cathode anode sides. The accompanying viscosity associated long can be readily resolved by incorporating an S‐containing additive, which further boosts 4.6 V. Furthermore, additive contributes S‐rich organic species among interphases that inhibit dissolution induce homogenous deposition through promoted kinetics.
