Abstract An ether-functionalized polymeric ionic liquid poly(methyl methacrylate-1-vinyl-3-methoxyl-ethyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide) P(MMA-co-VIm(1O2)) (TFSI) polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) was successfully synthesized, characterized, and used as polymer matrix. The performances of solid polymer electrolytes membrane were measured through blending with poly(vinylidene fluoride-cohexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and 1-propyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([Pyr13][TFSI]). The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes was optimized up to 5.10 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 25 °C, and a wide electrochemical window of 5.23 V vs Li/Li+ could be obtained. Moreover, the polymer electrolytes showed excellent cycle performance for Li/LiFePO4 cell at both 25 °C and 60 °C, demonstrating the capability of being a promising candidate for the application of solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Introduction Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been utilized in vast applications due to their high energy density, high power density, long life, and environment friendly characteristics [1–3]. In LIBs, electrolyte is one of the most critical components to determine the performance of batteries. Therefore, intensive interests have been focused on electrolyte including liquid electrolytes and solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) [4–6]. Though liquid electrolytes own advantages of well wetting of electrode surfaces and high conductivity, various issues such as unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), relatively low mechanical strength, and flammability limit the development for numerous practical applications [7–9]. Thus, to Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11581-020-03638-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. * Suojiang Zhang [email protected] 1

achieve safer and more stable LIBs, SSEs are good choices which include solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) because their adequate flexibility and moderate mechanical strength (106~108 Pa) [10, 11]. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was the first qualified polymer matrix material of SPEs due to its ability of lithium-ion transport [4, 12]. Besides, more and more lithium-ion conductive polym
