A K–Na liquid alloy allows a dendrite‐free high‐capacity anode ; its immiscibility with an organic liquid electrolyte offers a liquid–liquid anode–electrolyte interface. Working with a sodiated Na 2 MnFe(CN) 6 cathode, the working cation becomes K + to give a potassium battery of long cycle life with an acceptable capacity at high charge/discharge rates.
