HIGHLIGHTS • A novel and facile homologous strategy is proposed to construct unique multichannel carbon fiber (MCCF)-based electrode materials for potassium-ion hybrid capacitors. • The S-MCCF anodes present high capacity, super rate capability, and long cycle stability in potassium-ion half-cells, and the aMCCF cathodes have a high specific surface area of 1445 m2 ­g−1 and exhibit outstanding capacitive performance. • The fabricated PIHC (manode:mcathode = 1:2) devices show high energy and power densities together with excellent cycling stability.

and design suitable cathodic materials matching the anodes. In this study, we propose a facile “homologous strategy” to construct suitable anode and cathode for high-performance PIHCs, that is, unique multichannel carbon fiber (MCCF)-based anode and cathode materials are firstly prepared by electrospinning, and then followed by sulfur doping and KOH activation treatment, respectively. Owing to a multichannel structure with a large interlayer spacing for introducing S in the sulfur-doped multichannel carbon fiber (S-MCCF) composite, it presents high capacity, super rate capability, and long cycle stability as an anode in potassium-ion cells. The cathode composite of activated

multichannel carbon fiber (aMCCF) has a considerably high specific surface area of 1445 m2 ­g−1 and exhibits outstanding capacitive
