Abstract: Frequently, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) reveal a failure with high-voltage electrodes, e.g. LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 in lithium metal batteries, which can be monitored as an arbitrary appearance of a “voltage noise” during charge and can be attributed to Li dendrite-induced cell micro short circuits. This failure behavior disappears when incorporating linear PEO-based SPE in a semi-interpenetrating network (s-IPN) and even enables an adequate charge/discharge cycling performance at 40°C. An impact of any electrolyte oxidation reactions on the performance difference can be excluded, as both SPEs reveal similar (high) bulk oxidation onset potentials of ≈4.6 V versus Li|Li+. Instead, improved mechanical properties of the SPE, as revealed by compression tests, are assumed to be determining, as they mechanically better withstand Li dendrite penetration and better maintain the distance of the two electrodes, both rendering cell shorts less likely.
