High ionic conductivity is an essential prerequisite for the application of solid electrolyte (SE) oriented toward solid-state lithium battery (SSLB). Meanwhile, sustainability and environment friendliness of solid electrolytes are required from the green chemistry perspective. However, research on solid electrolytes with simultaneously high ionic conductivity and good degradability remains in its infancy. Herein, a degradable network copolymer solid electrolyte (DNCPSE) was designed and prepared for simultaneously realizing fast lithium-ion transport with a high ionic conductivity of 7.5 × 10–4 S cm–1 at room temperature and fast degradable properties (e.g., completely degraded within 1.5 h in alkaline condition). Experimental characterizations have demonstrated that the construction of a copolymeric network with sufficient polar groups not only boosts fast lithium-ion hopping but also facilitates the whole decomposition of DNCPSE. By virtue of the combined features, this DNCPSE presents remarkable degradable and electrochemical performances. As a result, the DNCPSE-based Li symmetrical cells display high stability (e.g., >1200 h at 0.1 mA cm–2). Moreover, the Li|DNCPSE|LiFePO4 full cells also display impressive cycling performance (e.g., >200 cycles at 1C). This work provides a promising designed rationale and strategy for sustainable solid electrolytes toward green and efficient solid-state lithium battery.
