In this work, a type of polymer/inorganic hybrid electrolytes (PIHEs) containing imidazolium‐based ionic liquids (ILs) was prepared through polyaddition method. The obtained hybrid electrolytes possess excellent thermal stability (>240 °C), low glass transmission temperature (−46.8 °C) accompanied by good lithium ion transference number (t Li+ =0.35). The interaction of Li + ion with the HEs has been verified by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) tests. Furthermore, high ion conductivity (σ) of 0.97×10 −4 S cm −1 at 25 °C was found for this type of PIHEs. At the same time, stable and reversible lithium deposition and dissolution process mediated by the synthesized PIHEs was confirmed by galvanostatic plating/stripping cyclic measurements which reflected its excellent electrochemical stability. This work provides a facile way to construct PIHEs with covalent linkage and decent properties for lithium metal batteries.
