A 3D network gel polymer electrolyte (3D‐GPE) is designed for lithium metal batteries and prepared by an initiator‐free one‐pot ring‐opening polymerization technique. This 3D‐GPE exhibits an unprecedented combination of mechanical strength, ionic conductivity, and more importantly, effective suppression of Li dendrite growth. The produced lithium‐based battery presents long life, high rate, and excellent safety.
