Squaric acid (SA) has been investigated as a readily available organic anode material in rechargeable lithium batteries. To overcome both conductivity and dissolution problems related to organic compounds, SA was conformally coated with conductive polyaniline through a facile in situ chemical polymerization route. Polyaniline‐coated SA exhibits a stable high capacity of 394 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 in lithium batteries. At 1 A g −1 current density, polyaniline‐coated SA (PANI‐SA) shows long cycle life over 1000 cycles with 96.9 % retention of initial reversible capacity. The reversible Li + storage property of SA is revealed through ex situ NMR characterization.
