Herein, we present a simple method to ingeniously encapsulate SnS<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles within sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) fibers (SnS<sub>2</sub>@SPAN) for serving as a high-performance PIB anode. The large interlayer spacing of SnS<sub>2</sub> provides a fast transport channel for potassium ions during charge–discharge cycles, while the one-dimensional SPAN skeleton offers massive binding sites and shortens the diffusion path for potassium ions, facilitating faster reaction kinetics. Additionally, the excellent ductility of SPAN can effectively accommodate the large volume changes that occur in SnS<sub>2</sub> upon potassium-ion insertion, thereby enhancing the cyclic stability of SnS<sub>2</sub>. Benefiting from the above advantages, the SnS<sub>2</sub>@SPAN composites exhibit impressive cyclability over 500 cycles at 4 A g<sup>−1</sup>, with a capacity retention rate close to 100%.
