In the pursuit of ultrathin polymer electrolyte(<20 μm)for lithium metal batteries,achieving a balance between mechanical strength and interfacial stability is crucial for the longevity of the electrolytes.Herein,11 μm-thick gel polymer electrolyte is designed via an integrated electrode/electrolyte structure supported by lithium metal anode.Benefiting from an exemplary superiority of excellent mechanical property,high ionic conductivity,and robust interfacial adhesion,the in-situ formed polymer electrolyte reinforced by titanosiloxane networks(ISPTS)embodies multifunctional roles of physical barrier,ionic carrier,and artificial protective layer at the interface.The potent interfacial interactions foster a seamless fusion of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces and enable continuous ion transport.Moreover,the built-in ISPTS electrolyte participates in the formation of gradient solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI)layer,which enhances the SEI's structural integrity against the strain induced by volume fluctuations of lithium anode.Consequently,the resultant 11 μm-thick ISPTS electrolyte enables lithium symmetric cells with cycling stability over 600 h and LiFePO4 cells with remarkable capacity retention of 96.6%after 800 cycles.This study provides a new avenue for designing ultrathin polymer electrolytes towards stable,safe,and high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.
