Organic anodes have attracted increasing attention for alkali metal ion batteries. In this work, we discovered that cyclized polyacrylonitrile (cPAN) can serve as an excellent anode for alkali metal ion batteries. Upon activation cycling, as an anode of lithium‐ion battery, cPAN exhibits a reversibl...
