Tailored Stereo‐Configuration of Crosslinkable Polyester‐Based Solid Polymer Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State and Binder‐Free Li Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Variations in polymer conformations of unsaturated poly(n‐alkyl esters) driven by monomer‐level stereochemistry directly govern Li+ solvation structures in polymer host matrices. The synergistic strategies of polymer conformation control, UV‐induced interchain crosslinking, and end‐group fluorination are implemented for engineering advanced solid ...
