Abstract

Lithium metal batteries have been considered as one of the most promising next-generation power-support devices due to their high specific energy and output voltage. However, the uncontrollable side-reaction and lithium dendrite growth lead to the limited serving life and hinder the practical application of lithium metal batteries. Here, a tri-monomer copolymerized gel polymer electrolyte (TGPE) with a cross-linked reticulation structure was prepared by introducing a cross-linker (polyurethane group) into the acrylate-based in situ polymerization system. The soft segment of polyurethane in TGPE enables the far migration of lithium ions, and the -NH forms hydrogen bonds in the hard segment to build a stable cross-linked framework. This system hinders anion migration and leads to a high Li+ migration number ( t Li+= 0.65), which achieves uniform lithium deposition and effectively inhibits lithium dendrite growth. As a result, the assembled symmetric cell shows robust reversibility over 5500 h at a current density of 1 mA cm-2. The LFP¦¦TGPE¦¦Li cell has a capacity retention of 89.8% after cycling 800 times at a rate of 1C. In summary, in situ polymerization of TGPE electrolytes is expected to be a candidate material for high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Key words： gel polymer electrolytes; hydrogen bonds; in situ polymerization; lithium metal batteries; polyurethane
