PG - 134-141 LID - S0021-9797(23)00795-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.05.010 [doi] AB - In spite of the fact that lithium metal batteries (LMBs) facilitate the diversification of energy storage technologies, their electrochemical reversibility and stability have long been constrained by side reactions and lithium dendrite problems. While single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SICPEs) possess unique advantages of suppressing Li dendrite growth, they deal with difficulties in practical applications due to their slow ion transport in general application scenarios at approximately 25 degrees C. In this study, we develop novel bifunctional lithium salts with negative sulfonylimide (-SO(2)N((-))SO(2)-) anions mounted between two styrene reactive groups, which is capable of constructing 3D cross-linked networks with multiscale reticulated ion nanochannels, resulting in the uniform and rapid distribution of Li(+) ions in the crosslinked electrolyte. To verify the feasibility of our strategy, we designed PVDF-HFP-based SICPEs and the obtained electrolyte exhibits high thermal stability, outstanding Li(+) transference number (0.95), pleasing ionic conductivity (0.722 mS cm(-1)), and broad chemical window (greater than5.85 V) at ambient temperature. As a result of the electrolyte structural merits, the Li||LFP cells displayed excellent cycling stability (96.4% reversible capacities after 300 cycles at 0.2C) without additional auxiliary heating. This ingenious strategy is expected to providing a new perspective for advanced performance and high safety LMBs. CI - Copyright (c) 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc.
