The stable operation of solid-state lithium metal batteries at low temperatures is plagued by severe restrictions from inferior electrolyte-electrode interface compatibility and increased energy barrier for Li+migration.Herein,we prepare a dual-salt poly(tetrahydrofuran)-based electrolyte consisting of lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate(LiDFOB).The Li-salt anions(DFOB-)not only accelerate the ring-opening polymerization of tetrahydrofuran,but also promote the formation of highly ion-conductive and sustainable interphases on Li metal anodes without sacrificing the Li+con-ductivity of electrolytes,which is favorable for Li+transport kinetics at low temperatures.Applications of this polymer electrolyte in Li||LiFePO4 cells show 82.3%capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 30 ℃ and endow stable discharge capacity at-30 ℃.Remarkably,the Li||LiFePO4 cells retain 52%of their room-temperature capacity at-20 ℃ and 0.1 C.This rational design of dual-salt polymer-based electrolytes may provide a new perspective for the stable operation of quasi-solid-state batteries at low temperatures.
