Electrolyte anions are critical for achieving high-voltage stable potassium-metal batteries (PMBs). However, the common cannot simultaneously prevent formation of 'dead K' and corrosion Al current collector, resulting in poor cycling stability. Here, we demonstrate cyclic anion hexafluoropropane-1,3-disulfonimide-based electrolytes that can mitigate remarkably enhance stability PMBs. Particularly, even using low salt concentration (0.8 M) additive-free carbonate-based electrolytes, PMBs with a polyanion cathode (4.4 V) also exhibit excellent 200 cycles good capacity retention 83%. This noticeable electrochemical performance is due to highly efficient passivation ability on both anode surfaces. cyclic-anion-based electrolyte design strategy suitable lithium sodium-metal battery technologies.
