High-temperature rechargeable batteries are essential for energy storage in elevated-temperature situations. Due to the resource abundance of potassium, high-temperature K-ion drawing increasing research interest. However, raising working temperature would aggravate chemical and mechanical instability KIB anode, resulting very fast capacity fading, especially when high is pursued. Here, we demonstrated that a porous conductive metal–organic framework (MOF), which constructed by N-rich aromatic molecules CuO4 units via π–d conjugation, could provide multiple accessible redox-active sites promised robust structure stability efficient potassium at temperatures. Even 60 °C, this MOF anode deliver initial (455 mAh g–1), impressive rate, extraordinary cyclability (96.7% retention 1600 cycles), much better than those reported anodes.
