We demonstrated a novel single molecule - tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) with a large π-conjugated system as a high-performance organic anode of lithium batteries. It was found that this TCPP displayed relatively low solubility (<0.1 mg mL-1) in a 1 M LiDFOB/PC electrolyte, high reversible specific capacity (ca. 1200 mA h g-1 at 358 mA g-1), excellent rate capability (548.4 mA h g-1 at 8 A g-1) and superior cycling performance (capacity retention of 89% after 2500 cycles at 6 A g-1).
