Abstract
Solid-state lithium-metal batteries constructed by in-situ solidification of cyclic ether are considered to be a critical strategy for the next generation of solid-state batteries with high energy density and safety. However, the poor thermal/electrochemical stability of linear polyethers and severe interfacial reactions limit its further development. Herein, in-situ ring-opening hybrid crosslinked polymerization is proposed for organic/inorganic hybrid polymer electrolyte (HCPE) with superior ionic conductivity of 2.22 × 10<sup>-3</sup> S cm<sup>-1</sup> at 30 °C, ultrahigh Li<sup>+</sup> transference number of 0.88, and wide electrochemical stability window of 5.2 V. These allow highly stable lithium stripping/plating cycling for over 1000 h at 1 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> , which also reveal a well-defined interfacial stabilization mechanism. Thus, HCPE endows assembled solid-state lithium-metal batteries with excellent long-cycle performance over 600 cycles at 2 C (25 °C) and superior capacity retention of 92.1%. More importantly, the proposed noncombustible HCPE opens up a new frontier to promote the practical application of high safety and high energy density solid-state batteries via in-situ solidification.
