Molecular Design for In‐Situ Polymerized Solid Polymer Electrolytes Enabling Stable Cycling of Lithium Metal Batteries

Abstract The practical application of polymer electrolytes is hindered due to the low ionic conductivity and the interfacial instability between the electrodes. Herein, a strategy for designing solid polymer electrolytes is developed that facilitates the rapid lithium‐ion migration through weak coordination with polymer chain segments, as well as the fast ion channel transport of oligomers. Moreover, the in situ‐produced solid polymer electrolyte (PFVS) can form stable LiF‐rich interfaces with both the lithium metal anode and different cathodes. When the PFVS is applied in Li‐metal batteries, excellent properties are achieved at room temperature. A Li||Li symmetric cell can be stably cycled for 4000 h at a…
