[0023] I. Reaction mechanism

[0024] 1. Amino-allyl addition reaction

[0025] Reaction of polyethylene glycol diacrylate with 4-aminobenzamidoxime: In this reaction, the double bond of polyethylene glycol diacrylate undergoes an addition reaction with the amino group of 4-aminobenzamidoxime. This reaction proceeds through a nucleophilic addition mechanism, in which the amino group acts as a nucleophile to attack the double bond, forming a new carbon-nitrogen bond. This process not only introduces a functional amidoxime group but also enhances the intermolecular interaction force, providing more active sites for subsequent polymerization.

[0026] Reaction of polyethylene glycol diacrylate with 3-amino-2-fluorobenzonitrile: Similarly, the reaction between polyethylene glycol diacrylate and 3-amino-2-fluorobenzonitrile is also completed through the addition of the amino group to the double bond. This step not only introduces a fluorine-containing benzonitrile group, increasing the polarity of the molecule, but also improves the chemical stability and hydrophobicity of the material through the introduction of fluorine atoms.

[0027] 2. Thiol-Michael addition reaction and polymerization

[0028] Thiol-Michael addition reaction: In this step, maleic anhydride-modified β-cyclodextrin (MAH-β-CD), pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate) (PETMP), and modified polyethylene glycol diacrylate participate in the reaction. As a strong nucleophile, the thiol attacks the double bond in maleic anhydride, and the residual double bonds of the modified polyethylene glycol diacrylate undergo Michael addition reaction. This process not only constructs a complex cross-linked network structure but also further enhances the hydrophilicity and ionic conductivity of the material by introducing multiple functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. Azobisisobutyronitrile decomposes to generate free radicals, initiating the growth of polymer chains, which determines the molecular weight distribution and physical properties of the final polymer.

[0029] II. Technical effects

[0030] 1. Improve ionic conductivity

[0031] Increase ionic transport channels: Functional groups introduced through the above reactions, such as amidoxime, fluorobenzonitrile, and β-cyclodextrin, can form specific ionic transport channels in the polymer matrix. These channels facilitate the rapid migration of lithium ions or other cations, thereby improving the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte.

[0032] Optimize the ionic coordination environment: In particular, the introduction of amidoxime and fluorobenzonitrile groups can form stable coordination bonds with metal ions, reducing the activation energy of ion migration and further enhancing the ionic conductivity performance.

[0033] 2. Enhance mechanical strength and thermal stability

[0034] Construct a cross-linked network: The thiol-Michael addition reaction and subsequent free radical polymerization form a highly cross-linked network structure. This structure not only improves the mechanical strength of the polymer electrolyte, enabling it to withstand greater stress without breaking easily, but also enhances its thermal stability, ensuring that it can still maintain good morphology and performance under high-temperature environments.

[0035] Introduce rigid groups: The introduction of groups such as fluorobenzonitrile, due to its large steric hindrance effect, can restrict the movement of polymer segments, further improving the thermal stability of the material. Specific implementation manners
