Ionic liquid‐tethered nanoparticle hybrid electrolytes comprised of silica nanoparticles densely grafted with imidazolium‐based ionic liquid chains are shown to retard lithium dendrite growth in rechargeable batteries with metallic lithium anodes. The electrolytes are demonstrated in full cell studies using both high‐energy Li/MoS 2 and high‐power Li/TiO 2 secondary batteries.
