Herein, a polysiloxane-based single-ion conductor (PSiO) is investigated. The synthesis is performed via a simple thiol-ene reaction, yielding flexible and self-standing polymer electrolyte membranes (PSiOM) when blended with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP). When incorporating 57 wt% of organic carbonates, these polymer membranes provide a Li+ conductivity of >0.4 mS cm−1 at 20 °C and a wide electrochemical stability window of more than 4.8 V. This excellent electrochemical stability allows for the highly reversible cycling of symmetric Li||Li cells as well as high-energy Li||LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622) and Li||LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cells for several hundred cycles at relatively high discharge and charge rates. Remarkably, Li||NMC811 cells with high mass loading cathodes provide more than 76% capacity retention at a high current density of 1.44 mA cm−2, thus rendering this polymer electrolyte suitable for high-performance battery applications.
