Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer higher energy density and enhance safety compared to the Li-ion that use a graphite anode organic electrolytes. However, achieving long cycle life for LMBs while enabling of high-voltage cathodes required compatibility between cathode-SPE, rather than focusing solely on individual components. This study presente dual-functional poly(ionic liquid) (PolyIL)-based material simultaneously serves as an SPE matrix cathode binder, constructing cathode-SPE interface exceptional (electro)chemical owing high ionic conductivity wide electrochemical stability window. Additionally, modified cellulose acetate (CA)-based PolyIL substrate, enriched C═O ─OH groups, is designed rationally incorporated assist Li+ migration, leveraging their highly negative charge, enhancing mechanical strength SPE. Furthermore, in situ polymerization approach employed assemble cells, improving physical at interface. As result, Li||LFP cell demonstrate stable cycling beyond 1100 cycles, Li||NCM811 reliably operates cut-off voltage up 4.8 V.
