Here, we demonstrate an effective strategy to mitigate bromine crossover by employing gemini\u2010type bromine complexing agents (BCAs) impregnated into porous carbon hosts in their oily phase. This approach facilitates the in situ conversion of bromine into a water\u2010immiscible polybromide BCA phase, thereby confining the active species within the electrode structure. The presence of aromatic linkers in the gemini BCA molecules significantly enhance their retention in the carbon network, most likely through\n                    <jats:italic>\u03c0<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2013\n                    <jats:italic>\u03c0<\/jats:italic>\n                    stacking interactions with the carbon framework. Moreover, controlled discharge protocols enabled preferential nucleation of polybromide domains within the confined pore environment, further improving the self\u2010discharge stability of the system.
