What is Robust Micro‐Sized and Defect‐Rich Carbon–Carbon Composites as Advanced Anodes for Potassium‐Ion Batteries about?
## Abstract Pitch‐derived carbon (PC) anode features the merits of low‐cost, rich edge‐defect sites, and tunable crystallization degree for potassium ion batteries (PIBs). However, gaining the PC anode with both rich edge‐defect sites and robust structure remains challenging. Herein, micro‐sized and robust PC/expanded‐graphite (EG) composites (EGC) with rich edge‐defect sites are massively synthesized via melting impregnation and confined pyrolysis. The PC is in situ encapsulated in micro‐sized EG skeleton with robust chemical bonds between PC and EG after thermal treatment, endowing the structural stability as micro‐sized carbon–carbon composites. The confinement effect originating from EG skeleton could suppress the crystallization degree of the PC and contribute rich edge‐defect sites in EGC composites. Additionally, the EG skeleton inside EGC could form continuous electronic conduction nets and establish low‐tortuosity carbonaceous electrodes, facilitating rapid electron/ion migration. While applied in PIBs, the EGC anode delivers a reversible capacity that up to 338.5 mAh g^‒1^ at 0.1 A g^‒1^, superior rate performance of 127.5 mAh g^‒1^ at 5.0 A g^‒1^, and long‐term stability
