Ether‐based electrolytes exhibit excellent anode compatibility and fast ion kinetics, yet their practical application is hindered by continuous cathode interfacial decomposition due to low oxidation resistance. Traditional solvation‐regulation strategies face a trade‐off between stabilizing the interface and maintaining bulk ion transport, making synergistic optimization challenging. Herein, we propose an in situ solvent polymerization strategy to develop a liquid polymer electrolyte (NEDL) that concurrently achieves fast ion transport and high interfacial stability. Specifically, trace LiPF 6 initiates the partial ring‐opening polymerization of 1,3‐dioxolane (DOL) in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME), generating PDOL with abundant coordination sites to reconstruct the Na + solvation structure. This polymer‐modulated environment lowers the Na + desolvation energy barrier, accelerating interfacial kinetics, and drives the formation of an inorganic‐enriched, robust interphase that suppresses solvent decomposition. Consequently, under a 16 mg cm −2 mass loading, the Na 3 Fe 2 (PO 4 )P 2 O 7 (NFPP)||Na coin cell delivers 94.76% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 2 C. Moreover, practical NFPP||hard carbon (HC) pouch cells retain 96.59% capacity over 500 cycles at 0.5 C. This work provides fundamental insights into how polymer‐chain solvation behavior regulates ion transport kinetics and interfacial properties, offering a viable pathway for designing high‐performance sodium‐ion battery electrolytes.
