However, developing SPEs with both high ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility remains a challenge. Here, we propose a design concept of an anion-modulated polymer electrolyte (termed AMPE) for high-voltage Li metal batteries. Specifically, we design the AMPE by incorporating high-voltage-resistant and high charge density units with an anion receptor unit. The high-voltage-resistant and high charge density segments contribute to achieving a decent voltage tolerance of the polymer chains and ensure sufficient carrier ions. The anion receptor, represented by a boron-containing molecule, promotes the generation of free Li<sup>+</sup> by dissociating anion-cation pairs. More importantly, the strong interaction between the electron-deficient B and the TFSI<sup>−</sup> in the matrix promotes the anion reduction to form a stable anion-derived mosaic-like solid electrolyte interphase on the Li-metal anode. As a result, the AMPE exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 3.80×10<sup>−4</sup> S cm<sup>−1</sup> and effectively suppresses lithium dendrites, enabling an all-solid-state Li|AMPE|LiCoO<sub>2</sub> cell to achieve a cycle life of 700 cycles at an operating voltage of 4.40 V. This design concept would inspire efforts to develop high-performance SPEs for high-specific-energy solid-state lithium metal batteries.</p>","PeriodicalId":7803,"journal":{"name":"Angewandte Chemie","volume":"136 52","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142851285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
