Potassium (K)-metal batteries have emerged as a promising energy-storage device owing to abundant K resources. An anode-free architecture that bypasses the need for anode host materials can deliver an elevated energy density. However, the poor efficiency of K plating/stripping on potassiophobic anode current collectors results in rapid K inventory loss and a short cycle life. Herein, commercial Al foils are decorated with an ultrathin graphene-modified layer (AlG) through roll-to-roll plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. By harnessing strong adhesion (10.52 N m-1 ) and a high surface energy (66.6 mJ m-2 ), the designed Al@G structure ensures a highly smooth and ordered K plating/stripping process. Consequently, during K-metal plating/stripping, Al@G can operate at a current density of up to 4.0 mA cm-2 and cyclic capacity of up to 4.0 mAh cm-2 , with an ultralong lifespan of up to 1000 h at 0.5 mA cm-2 and stable cycling of up to 750 h under periodic current fluctuations of 0.1-2.0 mA cm-2 . In addition, a novel anode-free K-metal full-cell prototype enabled by Al@G anode current collectors is constructed, demonstrating ameliorative cyclic stability
