Polymer electrolytes are essential for next-generation lithium batteries because of their excellent safety record. However, low ionic conductivity is the main obstacle restricting their commercial application. Composites with nanoparticles are a promising route to overcome this obstacle. In this work, lithium polystyrene sulfonate brushes (LiPSS) is anchored to silicon dioxide nanoparticles with chemical bonding using atom transfer radial polymerization (SI-ATRP). The composite polymer electrolytes are made by mixing vinylene carbonate and nanoparticles via a facile in situ polymerization process. The ionic conductivity of composite polymer electrolytes is improved to 7.2 ×10^-4 S/cm at room temperature, which is attributed to the low degree of crystallinity of polymer electrolyte and the fast ion transport on the surfaces of polymer brush layers that act as a conductive network. The composite polymer electrolytes show a wide electrochemical window of approximately 4.5 V vs. Li⁺/Li and excellent cycling performance retention of approximately 95% after 100 cycles at ambient temperature. The results also prove that surface groups of ceramic nanoparticles are an important way to increase the electrochemical properties of composite polymer electrolytes.
