However, the ion migration in existing gel-state polymer electrolytes mainly relies on the local movement of polymer chain segments, resulting in a high activation energy required for lithium-ion migration and consequently low ionic conductivity. The electrochemical window of gel-state polymer electrolytes is limited, particularly at high voltages (>4.3V vs. Li). + Under conditions of low permeability ( / Li), oxidative decomposition can occur, leading to interfacial side reactions and decreased cycle stability.

[0079] Specifically, the following steps are included: S1. Mix THF with molecular sieve, stir and reflux for 2-4 hours, distill, collect anhydrous THF, and store in a nitrogen atmosphere; Argon gas was continuously introduced for 30 min. Then, under the protection of dry nitrogen, methyl 1,3-dioxo-4-pentanoate (0.056 mol, 11.312 g), Ti(OiPr)4 (0.003 mol, 0.796 g), anhydrous THF (20 mL) and difluoromethanediol (0.067 mol, 5.645 g) were added to the round-bottom flask. The round-bottom flask was equipped with a condenser with a drying tube to prevent moisture from entering the air and to condense and reflux. The reaction was stirred at room temperature (25 °C) for 24 h. After the reaction, saturated brine was added to quench the reaction, and solid impurities were removed by filtration. THF was added for extraction and separation three times. The organic phases were combined and washed multiple times with saturated brine to remove water-soluble impurities such as difluoromethane glycol, catalyst Ti(OiPr)4, and byproduct methanol. The organic phase was dried with a drying agent (anhydrous Na2SO4 or MgSO4) for 30 min, and the drying agent was removed by filtration. The product was concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to obtain an oily crude product. The crude product was dissolved in anhydrous THF, and petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (volume ratio 3:1) were used as eluents. Column chromatography yielded a pale yellow transparent liquid (9.672 g, yield 68%), which was compound I (difluoro(hydroxy)methyl ester of 5-(2-oxoylide-1,3-dioxacyclopentan-4-yl)valerate). Compound I was analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and its proton NMR spectrum is shown below. Figure 1 As shown; S2. Mix THF with molecular sieve, stir and reflux for 2-4 hours, distill, collect anhydrous THF, and store in a nitrogen atmosphere; Argon gas was continuously introduced for 30 min. Then, under the protection of dry nitrogen, compound I (0.036 mol, 9.144 g), triethylamine (0.043 mol, 4.372 g), and tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) were added to a Schlenk flask. A magnetic stir bar was added, and a condenser with a drying tube was installed. The flask was cooled to 0 °C in an ice bath. Divinyl chlorophosphate (0.042 mol, 7.077 g) was slowly added dropwise using a syringe at a rate of 1-2 drops / second, while maintaining the temperature at 0-5 °C. After the addition was complete, the ice bath was removed, and the flask was allowed to return to room temperature (25 °C) naturally. The reaction was stirred for 12 h to obtain the reaction solution. The reaction solution was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted three times with saturated sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution to neutralize residual acid and remove triethylamine hydrochloride. The organic phase was dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 or MgSO4 for 30 min, filtered to remove the desiccant, and concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator.

[0095] Test case Electrochemical performance tests of the polymer electrolyte were conducted by assembling coin cells (Clude CR2032). The coin cells assembled with the polymer electrolyte precursor solutions in Examples 2 and Comparative Examples 1-4 required in-situ polymerization in a 60°C oven for 12 hours before electrochemical performance testing. The coin cell assembled with the liquid electrolyte in Comparative Example 5 could be tested directly. The measured electrochemical window, lithium-ion conductivity, and lithium-ion transference number are shown in Table 1.
[0096] Test method: 1. Electrochemical Window Test: A coin cell with a lithium-ion negative electrode, a steel plate positive electrode, and a 16-micron PP separator was assembled for electrochemical window testing. The specific assembly procedure was as follows: First, the lithium-ion electrode was placed in the negative electrode shell. 40 μL of electrolyte was added to the lithium-ion electrode using a pipette. Then, the separator was added, and another 40 μL of electrolyte was added to the separator using a pipette. The steel plate was added, and finally, the gasket and positive electrode shell were added. The coin cell was then sealed using a coin cell packaging machine, and excess electrolyte on the surface of the coin cell was wiped away with lint-free paper or a lint-free cloth. The electrochemical window of the coin cell was tested using a linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) curve on an electrochemical workstation. The test voltage range was 2–6 V, the voltage scan rate was 1 mV / s, and the sampling interval was 0.1 s.

The coin cell was then sealed using a coin cell packaging machine, and excess electrolyte on the surface was wiped away with lint-free paper or a lint-free cloth.

The AC voltage perturbation was set to 5 mV, the frequency range was 0.1–100,000 Hz, and the sampling interval was 2 seconds. After the test, a constant voltage of 10mV was applied to the coin cell using the steady-state current method (it) for 3000s with a sampling interval of 0.1s. The initial current and steady-state current were i0 and is, respectively. The stabilized impedance (Rs) was then measured again using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The calculation formula is: lithium-ion transport number = (is / i0) × [( V-i0×R0) / ( V-is×Rs)], V is the test voltage.
[0099] Table 1
[0100] Table 1 shows that the gel polymer electrolyte prepared using polymer electrolyte monomers has a wider electrochemical window than gel polymer electrolytes prepared without polymer electrolyte monomers and liquid electrolytes; it also has a higher lithium-ion conductivity and a higher lithium-ion transference number than gel polymer electrolytes prepared without polymer electrolyte monomers and liquid electrolytes. Furthermore, it is superior to gel polymer electrolytes formed from monomers containing fluorine, carbonate, and phosphate groups, respectively.
[0101] The performance of the secondary batteries prepared in Example 3, Comparative Example 6, and Comparative Example 7 was tested, and the cycle test results of the secondary batteries are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in Table 2, the runaway temperature of the thermal shock test is shown in Table 3, and the results of the needle penetration test are shown in Table 3.
[0102] Test method: Cyclic testing standard: The charge and discharge process is conducted in a constant temperature chamber at an ambient temperature of 25℃±2℃, with a charge / discharge rate of 1C and a voltage range of 2.75~4.2V. Capacity calibration is performed before cycling: First, discharge at 1C to the lower cutoff voltage of 2.75V and rest for 10 minutes; then charge at 1C to the upper cutoff voltage of 4.2V. Once the upper cutoff voltage is reached, switch to constant voltage charging at 4.2V until the current is less than or equal to the given cutoff current of 0.05C, and rest for 10 minutes; then discharge at 1C to the lower cutoff voltage of 2.75V and rest for 10 minutes. This cycle is repeated three times. After calibrating the capacity, the cell is subjected to a 25℃ cyclic test with a cycle rate of 1C / 1C.
[0103] Thermal runaway test: After fully charging the test cell at a 1C rate with constant current and constant voltage, it is left to stand for 1 hour. Its OCV and internal resistance are measured, and then it is placed in a test chamber. The temperature chamber is heated to 130±2℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min, held for 30 minutes, and then stopped. It is left to stand for another 1 hour, and its OCV and internal resistance are measured again. The passing standard is no fire or explosion. If no explosion or fire occurs, the temperature is continued (using a 10℃ temperature gradient) until fire or explosion occurs.
[0104] Needle penetration test: After fully charging the test cell at a 1C rate with constant current and constant voltage, let it rest for 1 hour. Measure its OCV and internal resistance, then place the battery in a test chamber. Use a high-temperature resistant steel needle with a diameter of 5-8mm to penetrate the geometric center of the battery plates at a speed of 25±5mm. The needle remains inside the battery. Let it rest for 1 hour, then measure its OCV and internal resistance. Passing the test means no fire or explosion.
[0105] Table 2
[0106] Table 3
[0107] Depend on Figure 3 As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the pouch cell prepared using the polymer electrolyte monomer of this invention can maintain a capacity retention of 94.2% after 300 cycles. This is attributed to the introduction of fluorine-containing groups (-CF2- groups), which effectively promote the formation of a "fluorine-oxygen co-coordination" structure, thereby relaxing and decoupling ion conduction from polymer segments and constructing a more efficient Li... + The transport channel is optimized. The introduced carbonate effectively dissociates the lithium salt, significantly improving ionic conductivity. Furthermore, hot box and needle penetration results demonstrate that using phosphate groups as the polymer backbone effectively enhances the thermal stability of the polymer matrix and its ability to capture flammable free radicals, thus greatly improving safety performance.
[0108] The electrochemical performance of the secondary batteries of Example 4, Comparative Example 8 and Comparative Example 9 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 4.
[0109] Test Method: Tested according to the cycle test standard. The formula for calculating the initial efficiency (%) is: Initial Efficiency (%) = (Initial Discharge Capacity / Initial Charge Capacity) × 100%; the formula for calculating the capacity retention rate is: Capacity Retention Rate (%) = (Discharge Capacity of Current Cycle / Initial Discharge Capacity of Cell) × 100%. The ACR test is based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology. A small-amplitude sinusoidal AC voltage or current signal is applied to the battery, and the corresponding current or voltage response is measured to calculate the battery's complex impedance.
