Abstract: Abstract Coupling the Si-based anodes with nickel-rich LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 cathodes (x ≥ 0.8) in the energy-dense cell prototype suffers from the mechanical instability of the Li-Si alloys, cathode collapse upon the high-voltage cycling, as well as the severe leakage current at elevated temperatures. More seriously, the cathode-to-anode cross-talk effect of transitional metal aggravates the depletion of the active Li reservoir. To reconcile the cation utilization degree, stress dissipation, and extreme temperature tolerance of the Si-based anode||NMC prototype, we propose a gel polymer electrolyte to reinforce the mechanical integrity of Si anode and chelate with the transitional cations towards the stabilized interfacial property. As coupling the conformal gel polymer electrolyte encapsulation with the spatial arranged Si anode and NMC811 cathode, the 2.7 Ah pouch-format cell could achieve the high energy density of 325.9 Wh kg−1 (based on the whole pouch cell), 88.7% capacity retention for 2000 cycles, self-extinguish property as well as a wide temperature tolerance. Therefore, this proposed polymerization strategy provides a leap toward the secured Li batteries.
