Potassium-ion capacitors (KICs) are promising for sustainable and eco-friendly energy storage technologies, yet their slow reaction kinetics and poor cyclability induced by large K-ion size are a major obstacle toward practical appli-cations. Herein, by employing black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) as a typical high-capacity anode material, we report that BPNS anodes armored with an ultrathin oriented-grown metal-organic-framework (MOF) interphase layer (BPNS@MOF) exhibit regulated potassium storage behavior for high-performance KICs. The MOF interphase layers as protective layer with ordered pores and high chemical/mechanical stabil-ity facilitate K ion diffusion and accommodate the volume change of electrode, beneficial for improved reaction kinetics and enhanced cyclability, as evidenced by substantial characterizations, kinetics analysis and DFT calculations. Consequently, the BPNS@MOF electrode as KIC anodes exhibits outstanding cycle performance outperforming most of the reported state-of-art KICs so far.
