lithium metal (Li°) batteries (SSLMBs) are believed
to be the most promising technology to satisfy the high energy demand,
meet the safety requirements, and overcome the limitations ascribed
to currently used Li-ion batteries. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs)
arise as the best candidates mainly due to their easy manufacturing,
flexibility, and cost compared to their inorganic counterparts. However,
conventional lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and poly(ethylene
oxide)-based SPEs suffer from a low lithium-ion transference number
(TLi+) and poor Li° electrode
compatibility as demonstrated by the compromised cyclability of these
electrolytes in SSLMBs. Herein, we report the performance of SPEs
comprising a newly designed N-ethyl-N-methyl-functionalized sulfonimide lithium salt, with wide electrochemical
stability, decreased anionic diffusivity, sufficient Li-ion conductivity,
and superior compatibility with the Li° electrode.
