The practical application of lithium (Li) metal battery is impeded by the Li dendrite growth and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Herein, an ultra-stretchable and ionic conducting chemically crosslinked pressure-sensitive adhesive (cPSA) synthesized via the copolymerization of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and acrylic acid with poly(ethyleneglycol)dimethacrylate as crosslinker (short for 70cPSA), is developed as both artificial SEI layer and solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) for stable Li-metal electrode, enabling all-solid-state Li metal batteries with excellent cycling performance. As an artificial SEI layer, the 70cPSA-modified electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical performance in Li|70cPSA@Cu half cells and 70cPSA@Li|70cPSA@Li symmetric cells. In full cells with LiFePO₄ (LFP) as cathode, the 70cPSA@Li|LFP cell exhibits stable cycling performance over 250 cycles. Utilized as SPE, the all-solid-state Li|SPE|LFP cell delivers excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 86% over 500 cycles. With high-voltage LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ (NMC811) as cathode, the Li|SPE|NMC811 cell exhibits a discharge capacity of 124.3 mAh g^-1 with a capacity retention of 71% after 200 cycles. Furthermore, the rational design of PSAs and investigation of their dual role for stable and safe Li-metal batteries may shed a light on adhesive polymers for battery applications.
