fabricated gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), characterized with superior interfacial properties and large-scale processibility, represent a promising electrolyte system for high-performance lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, we propose an fabricated high-voltage GPE featuring a localized high-concentration solvation structure (LHCE-GPE). This tailored special solvation structure within a polymer matrix promotes the formation of an electrochemically robust electrode-electrolyte interphase. Furthermore, employing LHCE-GPE, Li||LiNiCoMnO cells operating at 4.8 V demonstrate a high specific capacity of 248 mAh g, and 4.5 V Li||LiNiCoMnO cells achieve a remarkable cycling stability over 1000 cycles. Significantly, our LHCE-GPE allows for the operation of practical solid-state 18650 cylindrical LMBs at 4.7 V and industrial Li-ion batteries at 4.6 V, achieving high energy densities of 250 and 283 Wh kg, respectively (excluding packaging), while also demonstrating robust safety during rigorous nail-penetration tests. Our LHCE-GPE design presents a practical and powerful strategy for realizing solid-state LMBs with high energy density and high safety.

Wedge wire bonding is a solid-state joining process that uses ultrasonic vibrations in combination with compression of the materials to establish an electrical connection. In the battery industry, this process is used to interconnect cylindrical battery cells due to its ease of implementation, high flexibility and ease of automation. Wire materials typically used in battery pack manufacturing are pure or alloyed aluminum and copper.

The practical application of lithium metal batteries (LMBs) has been hindered by limited cycle-life and safety concerns. To solve these problems, we develop a novel fluorinated phosphate cross-linker for gel polymer electrolyte in high-voltage LMBs, achieving superior electrochemical performance and high safety simultaneously. The fluorinated phosphate cross-linked gel polymer electrolyte (FP-GPE) by in-situ polymerization method not only demonstrates high oxidation stability but also exhibits excellent compatibility with lithium metal anode.

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs), constructed through the in situ fabrication of polymer electrolytes, are considered a critical strategy for the next-generation battery systems with high energy density and enhanced safety. However, the constrained oxidation stability of polymers, such as the extensively utilized polyethers, limits their applications in high-voltage batteries and further energy density improvements. Herein, an in situ fabricated fluorinated and crosslinked polyether-based gel polymer electrolyte, FGPE, is presented, exhibiting a high oxidation potential (5.
