Abstract
Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) with high ionic conductivity and favorable electrolyte/electrode interfacial compatibility are promising alternatives to liquid electrolytes. However, severe parasitic reactions in the Li/electrolyte interface and the air-unstable inorganic fillers have hindered their industrial applications. Herein, surface-edge opposite charged Laponite (LAP) multilayer particles with high air stability were grafted with imidazole ionic liquid (IL-TFSI) to enhance the thermal, mechanical, and electrochemical performances of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based CPEs. The electrostatic repulsion between multilayers of LAP-IL-TFSI enables them to be easily penetrated by PEO segments, resulting in a pronounced amorphous region in the PEO matrix. Therefore, the CPE-0.2LAP-IL-TFSI exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 1.5 × 10-3 S cm-1 and a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.53. Moreover, LAP-IL-TFSI ameliorates the chemistry of the solid electrolyte interphase, significantly suppressing the growth of lithium dendrites and extending the cycling life of symmetric Li cells to over 1000 h. As a result, the LiFePO4||CPE-0.2LAP-IL-TFSI||Li cell delivers an outstanding capacity retention of 80% after 500 cycles at 2C at 60 °C. CPE-LAP-IL-TFSI also shows good compatibility with high-voltage LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries with solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), Li-metal anodes, and high-voltage cathodes like LiNi x Mn y Co z O2 (NMC) are promising next-generation high-energy-density storage solutions. However, these types of cells typically experience rapid failure during galvanostatic cycling, visible as an incoherent voltage noise during charging. Herein, two imidazolium-based zwitterions, with varied sulfonate-bearing chain length, are added to a poly(ε-caprolactone-co-trimethylene carbonate):LiTFSI electrolyte as cycling-enhancing additives to study their effect on the electrochemical stability of the electrolyte and the cycling performance of half-cells with NMC cathodes. The oxidative stability is studied with two different voltammetric methods using cells with inert working electrodes: the commonly used cyclic voltammetry and staircase voltammetry. The specific effects of the NMC cathode on the electrolyte stability is moreover investigated with cutoff increase cell cycling (CICC) to study the chemical and electrochemical compatibility between the active material and the SPE. Zwitterionic additives proved to enhance the electrochemical stability of the SPE and to facilitate improved galvanostatic cycling stability in half-cells with NMC by preventing the decomposition of LiTFSI at the polymer-cathode interface, as indicated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
