Abstract
ABSTRACT
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

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.
