Experimental study demonstrates stable 0°C operation of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries using an electrostatic suspension electrolyte, indicating a viable pathway for cold-climate energy...
All‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) are promising next‐generation energy‐storage devices, but their practical application is hindered by the low ionic conductivity, low Li + transference number, and poor interfacial stability of solid‐state electrolytes, particularly under near‐room‐temperature conditions. To address these challenges, we developed PEO/LiTFSI‐Mg 1‐x Li x F 2 composite electrolytes based on a novel electrostatic suspension strategy. At the filler/polymer interface, Mg 1‐x Li x F 2 and PEO generate dynamically balanced yet oppositely directed electrostatic fields, in which Li + remains in a “suspended” state. The continuous low‐energy transport channels formed by these interfacial suspension sites enable directional and rapid Li + slip migration along the interface under an external electric field. The optimized composite electrolyte exhibits an ionic conductivity of 0.158 mS cm −1 and a Li + transference number of 0.56 at 30°C. Benefiting from the electrostatic suspension effect and the in situ formed LiF‐rich SEI, Li||Li symmetric cells cycle stably for over 2650 h at 0°C. Moreover, SSLMBs with LFP cathodes deliver excellent rate capability and cycling stability, with 98% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 0°C. This work establishes an electrostatic suspension mechanism for the design of polymer electrolytes and provides new insights into high‐performance SSLMBs operating over a wide temperature range.
