The integration of solid-polymer electrolytes into all-solid-state lithium batteries is highly desirable to overcome the limitations of current battery configurations that have a low energy density and severe safety concerns. Polyacrylonitrile is an appealing matrix for solid-polymer electrolytes; however, the practical utilization of such polymer electrolytes in all-solid-state cells is impeded by inferior ionic conductivity and instability against a lithium-metal anode. In this work, we show that a polymer-in-salt electrolyte based on polyacrylonitrile with a lithium salt as the major component exhibits a wide electrochemically stable window, a high ionic conductivity, and an increased lithium-ion transference number. The growth of dendrites from the lithium-metal anode was suppressed effectively by the polymer-in-salt electrolyte to increase the safety features of the batteries. In addition, we found that a stable interphase was formed between the lithium-metal anode and the polymer-in-salt electrolyte to restrain the uncontrolled parasitic reactions, and we demonstrated an all-solid-state battery configuration with a LiFePO4 cathode and the polymer-in-salt electrolyte, which exhibited a superior cycling stability and rate capability.

Abstract The non-reactive anion migration deteriorates the limited ionic conductivity of the solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and accelerates solid-state batteries failure. Here, we introduce an integrated approach in which polyvinyl ferrocene (PVF) cathode encourage anions and Li+ to act as effective carriers simultaneously. The concentration polarization and poor rate performance, caused by insufficient effective carriers, were addressed by the participation of anions in electrode reaction. Specifically, the PVF|Li battery matched with unmodified SPE (PEO-LiTFSI) showed 107 mAh g− 1 initial capacity at 100 µA cm− 2 and maintained 70% retention for more than 2800 cycles at 300 µA cm− 2 and 60°C. Moreover, the slight capacity decrease at 1000 µA cm− 2 and the successful batteries operation at minimal ionic conductivity (8.13×10− 6 S cm− 1) show that the current carrying capacity of SPEs was greatly improved without complex design. This strategy weakens the strict requirements for ion conductance and interface engineering of SPEs, and provides an efficient scenario for constructing advanced polymer-based all-solid-state batteries.
