Abstract
The practical application of semisolid lithium metal batteries is impeded by inadequate ionic conductivity, suboptimal oxidation/reduction stability, and safety concerns of the electrolyte. Herein, a versatile molecular engineering strategy is proposed to construct a robust polymer framework for semisolid electrolytes, which creates highly compatible cross-linked networks by the in situ gelation of concentrated succinonitrile-based plastic crystal electrolytes and multifunctional nitrogen- and fluorine-rich monomers. This strategy allows the electrolyte to promote rapid Li-ion transpsort through weak coordination with the polymer segments. Meanwhile, the strong interactions between the polymer matrix and…
